Resolving Unwanted Link Underlines and Styling Conflicts with Royal Elementor Addons

Content

Many users of the Royal Elementor Addons and Templates plugin report a common and frustrating issue: after installation, all the links on their website suddenly become underlined. This global CSS change can override your theme's design and often resists standard customization attempts. This guide will explain why this happens and provide the most effective solutions to regain control of your site's styling.

Why Does This Happen?

The plugin includes its own set of base CSS styles to ensure its widgets display correctly. A common thread in the support forums (like this one and this one) shows that a style rule for underlining links is part of this package. This global style can conflict with your active theme or other plugins, making your custom text-decoration: none; CSS declarations seem ineffective due to CSS specificity rules.

How to Fix Unwanted Link Underlines

Solution 1: Use More Specific CSS (Quick Fix)

Often, your custom CSS is being overridden. You can win the "specificity war" by using a more specific selector. Instead of just a {...}, try targeting links within a specific container, like your main content wrapper.

.your-content-container a {
    text-decoration: none !important;
}

Note: Using !important is a quick way to override other styles but should be used sparingly.

Solution 2: Leverage the Plugin's Built-in Option (Recommended)

In response to user feedback, the Royal Elementor Addons and Templates team added an option to disable its custom CSS. This is the cleanest solution.

  1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard.
  2. Navigate to Royal Addons > Settings.
  3. Look for an option to disable the plugin's custom CSS or advanced CSS settings.
  4. Save your changes and check your site.

If this option is not visible, ensure your plugin is updated to the latest version.

Solution 3: Isolate Conflicts with Other Plugins

As seen in one support thread, a user discovered a conflict with the Ultimate Post Kit plugin. To check for a similar conflict on your site:

  1. Deactivate all your plugins except for Royal Elementor Addons and Elementor.
  2. Check if the underlining issue persists. If it is gone, a conflict exists.
  3. Reactivate your plugins one by one, checking your site after each activation, to identify the culprit.
  4. Once identified, you can look for specific CSS to override the conflicting plugin's styles or choose an alternative plugin.

When to Seek Further Help

If the solutions above do not resolve your issue, the problem might be more complex and related to a specific combination of your theme, plugins, and WordPress configuration. In these cases, the best course of action is to gather detailed information about your setup using WordPress's built-in tools (Tools > Site Health > Info) to provide a complete picture when seeking help from the community or the plugin's developers.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve unwanted link underlines and restore your website's intended design while still benefiting from the powerful widgets offered by Royal Elementor Addons.
