Changing text color when hovering over links in 7.1

Site URL: http://ghostrightdesign.com

I have designed multiple sites on previous versions of Squarespace and was super disappointed to find out that 7.1 no longer supports changing the color of a link when hovering over in the navigation menu or in the main content of a page.

This seems like such a basic function that has been available on practically every site I've ever designed or visited.

Does anyone know an easy fix for this? I'm not super code savvy.

Thanks!

Add to Home > Design > custom CSS

/* Page content link color */
#page a:hover {
    background-image: linear-gradient(to right,currentColor 100%,currentColor 0) !important;
    color: red;
}

Used this code for the same purpose mentioned above! Thanks a lot! However, the change affects the buttons too. Additionally, it affects the "back to top" as well. Looking for a way to fix this Highly appreciate your help! Thanks a ton!
