The link text or anchor text used to be in white when on an epik-xxx class background, for example, but now it is using the epik-xxx color itself, so it doesn’t snow up.

Actually, it seems to me that all the link and hover colors are not the same any more and some make no sense at all.

For example, the current Custom Body Class (epik-darkblue) is being used as the link color, with no hover color, on a black background for the creds in the footer.

This makes no sense at all, of course. How do I put the contrasts back in?

The theme is using text-underline instead of a color change when you hover over it. This does make sense in my opinion and it’s very common amongst themes/sites (look at any of the recent StudioPress themes).

So this isn’t an actual issue, but rather a personal preference. We can easily change this by adding something like this to the css –
```
.site-footer a {
    color: #fff;
}

.site-footer a:hover {
    color: #293F5E;
}
```
….and of course you could change this to any color you want.

Yes, thanks, that may fix the footer, but the problem is that this is now the default behavior for all links and its very different from 1.2

I guess I got used to the way it was and feel it worked better. The links in 1.2 were bolder, the correct color (white) when in the footer, and altogether more obvious to the user.

The code above will maybe partially resolve the issue with the footer, but what about all the other links in the body copy and plugins etc?

You can’t see epik-darkblue links on a black background. But that’s the standard 1.3 now has.

It shows whatever skin color you’re using. Of course you can remove/comment these out in each of those sections of your css. It’s pretty simple, should only take a sec to remove even if you planned to use them all.

I found that…
```
.site-footer a {
    color: #fff;
}
```
without the !important wouldn’t work for me, but…
```
.site-footer a { 
	color: rgb(255, 255, 255) !important; 
}
```
works just fine.
