Hello Shapely Team,  
it seems that active links are displayed with a font-weight strong / bold.  
If that is the case, is there any CSS that can be used to cancel that strong/bold font weight ?  
Cheers  
Ron

Hello there,

I hope you are doing well today.

You can use the following CSS code to catch all the visited links and reduce the font weight by going to Appearance \> Customize \> Additional CSS and pasting it there.

```auto
/*Reduce font weight*/
a:visited {
    font-weight: normal;
}

```

Best Regards,

Hello Support,

Thanks for this great Theme that you offer for free, and your quick answer.

Your recommendation did not work in my case, but I managed with your help to figure out a :

a:link {  
font-weight: normal;  
}

to be working instead.

Thanks again,

Cheers !
