In Webflow, why is the link in my nav bar staying blue even though I can't find where the styling is coming from?

If the link in your nav bar is staying blue even though you can't find where the styling is coming from, there are a few possible reasons:

1. Default CSS styling: Webflow may have default CSS styling applied to links, which can override any custom styling you have applied. To check if this is the case, inspect the element using your browser's developer tools and check the computed styles for the link element. Look for any default CSS properties that may be causing the blue color.

2. Cascade and specificity: CSS styles are applied in a specific order based on the concept of cascade and specificity. If you have multiple CSS rules that target the same element, the order in which they are applied can determine which style takes precedence. Check if there are any other styles being applied to the link element that may be overriding your custom styling.

3. CSS pseudo-classes: Another possible reason for the blue color is the use of CSS pseudo-classes. Pseudo-classes like :visited or :hover can add styling to links. Make sure to check if there are any pseudo-classes being applied to the link element that may be causing the blue color.

4. Linked states: Webflow has a feature called "Linked states" that allows you to create different styles for different states of a link, such as "Hover" or "Visited". Check if you have set a linked state that is applying the blue color to the link.

To resolve the issue, you can:

• Override the default CSS styling by applying more specific styles to the link element.
• Use the !important declaration in your custom styles to ensure they take precedence over any other styles.
• Remove any pseudo-classes or linked states that are causing the blue color.
• If you still can't find the source of the styling, it may be helpful to reach out to the Webflow community or support for further assistance.
