My site uses the HARRIS theme. I'm not a coder, so please excuse me if this is an easy question.

I would like my site to default to underlining links. I looked in the theme settings and could not find a way to make underlining the default for all links. When visitors hover over a link, an underline certainly appears, but I would like that underlining to show all the time, not just when someone hovers over linked text.

Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to change the default link behaviour? If I need to do something custom, please be very specific so my non-coder brain can follow your instructions. 🙂

Thank you.

Harris is a York-family template on Squarespace 7.0. The designer of this template choose to highlight links by making them appear in a different colour. The underline only appears when when you hover over the link:

You should be able to make the underline appear all the time by adding this to Design > Custom CSS: 

#content a {
  text-decoration: underline;
}

Let me know how you get on.

That worked great for page links but also underlined options in my header menu
