<body>
<header class = "title">
<h1>Amibar</h1>
<span><a href="#more">Alcohol Delivery App</a></span>
</header>
<div class= "primary-content">
<div class = "left-column">
<p><a href="promos.html">Promos</a></p>
<p><a href="memes.html">Memes</a></p>
</div>
Css part:
a:link { color: rgb(255, 169, 73); text-decoration: none; }
a:hover { color: rgba(255, 169, 73, .4); }
a:active { color: lightcoral; }
The Promos and Memes links are still shown with the default purple color. The Alcohol Delivery App link does appear orange as it should. Whats going on?

7,352 PointsI can't reproduce the issue you're observing with the given CSS and HTML. Is that all of your code?
You could always try defining a lower-level rule. For example:
.primary-content .left-column p a:link { color: rgb(255, 169, 73); text-decoration: none; }

100 PointsThe rest is just another div with two more p tags with fake links too. Im trying to avoid using a different rule for it. I think it should work with the a:link but I can't pinpoint why it isn't
