Hey everyone welcome back to another Tutorial on SamarJ. Hope you’re all set.

And in today’s tutorial, I’m going to show you how to add Hover effects to the links in your Post’s content with Some CSS. Well, Let’s Get Started.

Well If you like writing posts with Divi Builder (like me) then grab the code for Divi Builder. And if you like to write posts with Standard(Gutenberg, Classic) then grab code from the Standard editor box.

Hover Effect #1

For Divi Builder

.et_pb_text_inner a {
  transition: background-size .4s ease !important;
  background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 92%, #0000ff 0) center center/0% 75% no-repeat !important;
  cursor: pointer !important;
  color: #0000ff!important;
}
.et_pb_text_inner a:hover {
  background-size: 100% 100% !important;
}
.et_pb_text_inner a:active {
  background-size: 80% 100% !important;
}

For Standard editor

.et_pb_post .entry-content a {
  transition: background-size .4s ease !important;
  background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 92%, #0000ff 0) center center/0% 75% no-repeat !important;
  cursor: pointer !important;
  color: #0000ff!important;
}
