Change the color of link in `current` state

[Khanya (Ayabulela)]

Hi there

I have been trying to change the color of a link when it is visited in my navbar. I want it stay black when I click on in. I tried setting the desired color in the visited state, focused stated and current state but it’s still not working.

Any pointers will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

HI @Khanya state you are looking for is not visited but you need to change color of current state.
than you change font color. Be aware that color is showing as black while is blue (it is known wf glitch) . Another way how to do that is with custom css to set color on w--current .

<style>
.w-nav-link.w--current{
	color: black;
}
</style>

here is a short video how to in case you need more detailed explanation
Note: I have in video wrote incomplete selectors correct way to select element is .w-nav-link.w--current as in code example

Lol not really, it’s related to positioning an element, it should be quick.
