HELP! Strike-through Appearing on Specific Post Links! (2 posts)

    Hello everyone,

    There is a specific post I have, that has two links with strike throughs, despite me not adding the strike-through:

    http://www.mysteryautoincome.com/top-paying-ptc-sites-list-valid-paid-click-websites/

    scroll down to site 11- VelvetClix .... and the link below its description.

    Two days ago, all the links in this specific post were like that... but today I can only see these two links.

    I've only added a new post and maybe disabled or enabled a coupla plugins since last time I saw the strikes on all links...

    Maybe that had something to do with erasing them from the other links on this post.

    But I would like to understand why that is happening.

    Thanks!

    It's probably caused by one of your many many plugins which generate their own styles in <head>
    This is the embedded style declaration in your source code:
    .broken_link, a.broken_link { text-decoration: line-through; }
    Find the plugin that generates that style and delete it from your plugin's CSS

    Based on source code, the specific links have the class=broken_link added:

    <p><strong>11- <a href="http://www.mysteryautoincome.com/velvetclix" class="broken_link"  target="_blank" title="velvetclix">VelvetClix</a></strong></p>
    ...
    <p><a href="http://www.mysteryautoincome.com/velvetclix" class="broken_link"  target="_blank" title="velvetclix">Join VelvetClix from here!</a></p>

    you should go edit that post, HTML view delete that class assigned to your links.

    I have to say, I avoid sites with pop-up links and with other intrusive javascript.
