How can I change the visited link color in the navbar using Webflow?
TL;DR
- Assign a class to your navbar links in Webflow.
- Switch to the Visited state in the Style panel and set the desired text color, then publish and test the change in a browser.
To change the visited link color in your navbar, you need to target the :visited state of your link elements in Webflow.
1. Select the Navbar Link
- Click the navbar in the Webflow Designer and select the link you want to modify (e.g., a
Nav LinkorLink Block). - Make sure you're selecting the actual element that users click to navigate.
2. Create and Assign a Class
- Add a class to the link if it doesn’t already have one. For example, name it
nav-link. - This allows you to style the link and its states specifically.
3. Switch to the Visited State
- With the link selected, go to the top of the Selector field in the Style panel.
- Click the dropdown and choose “Visited” from the list of States.
4. Change the Visited Link Color
- Now that you're working in the Visited state, scroll to the Typography section.
- Set the text color to your desired visited color.
- Only properties that differ from the default (None state) will be saved.
5. Publish and Test
- Publish your site to see the effect in a live browser environment.
- Note: Browsers apply visited styles only after a user has clicked a link and navigated away.
6. Important Notes
- Webflow’s Designer does not visually indicate visited links during editing — you must test in a live site or published preview.
- Some browsers may block certain visited link style changes (like background-color or font family) due to privacy restrictions.
Summary
To change visited link colors in a Webflow navbar, assign a class to your nav links, switch to the Visited state, and set your desired color in the Style panel. Then publish and test the change in a browser.
