href (hyperlink) text colour bug when using dark themes

allan21 — Tue, 09 Mar 2021 12:09:13 GMT

I've chosen a dark (i.e. black) background and theme for my website, and Square Online has adapted the href (hyperlink) text colour properly (i.e. to white) for these types of pages:

About
Home
Items

...but for these types of pages the href text colour is dark blue, which is unreadable on a black background (see screenshot below).

[Blank page]
Contact us

It seems to be getting that colour from this CSS - my guess is there's some Square code missing to adapt link-color to background for the types of pages above.

--color-link-color: #1618a4;

Can you please have your developers look into this? At present all I can use is an 'Embed code' hack with raw HTML like the following:

...but would prefer a simple 'Text' section that automatically picks the right colours, consistently.

Hi @allan21, thanks so much for flagging this and for all the helpful screenshot! I've raised this with our ECOM specialist team so they can have a further look and help to resolve the issue. I'm waiting to hear back from the team at the moment but once I have an update, I'll be sure to follow up on this thread.
