Hi all, hope you are well and safe.

To cut a very long and probably quite boring story short, I've had to rebuild a Joomla site running under localhost (Xampp) after a hard disk failure. I'm having to do this because the site backup was corrupt (you can imagine what a happy day that was). I've created a new Joomla instance, and imported all the old tables as .sql files into it. No problem. All the data is there.

But I am left with an odd problem. Now, all the hyperlinks are invisible in the K2 items. Invisible until I hover my mouse over them, when they magically appear, yet when I do that they are showing as plain text (although they do actually work as hyperlinks). Oh, this applies to K2 Category titles as well. They are similarly invisible until I hover over them.

I am assuming this is an issue with css somewhere - either K2.css, or possibly the template .css, but I cannot see where the error is. Would any of you kind people have an idea what has gone wrong and how it can be fixed? Sadly I cannot give you a URL to investigate as it's running on a local server. I'm using Favthemes' Favourite template, if that helps.

I should be very grateful for any help with this problem as this website represents three years' work and I obviously want to get it running again!

Many thanks !

Andy.

Hi Fotis,

Many thanks for your reply. Yes, of course I should have thought of inspecting it. :)

Anyway, having had a look, I am attaching a screen snip of what the Inspector shows. I can see the style element, and changing the colour from #000 works so that the hyperlinks are now visible ( colour #08c in the screen snip). But as you will see, the "Color" element is listed under the K2 category ("Jupiter" in the screen snip). I don't quite understand how K2 works at this level, so I assume that's pointing to a CSS file. However, having saved all the css files listed as resources in the Inspector, the colour is not retained when I do a server refresh. So the question is, where is that style element and how do I save it?

Many thanks!

Andy.

Hi Fotis, many thanks for that. Problem solved. The issue was one of the template's custom styles which had decided to do black hyperlinks (on a black background). So now all is sweetness and light!

I am very grateful for all your help. Take care and be safe!

Oh, and, obviously, thanks for K2, the best Joomla component ever.

Andy.
