My website features various communication icons, including one for Instagram that I sourced from Font Awesome. I matched the color of this icon to the official Instagram logo using a Gradient effect. However, I am encountering an issue where the hover effect is not working as intended. I am unsure of how to resolve this problem.
footer {
background-color: black;
height: 120px;
}
footer a {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
font-size: 70px;
padding: 20px;
text-decoration: none !important;
}
.fa-instagram {
background: #f09433;
background: -moz-linear-gradient(45deg, #f09433 0%, #e6683c 25%, #dc2743 50%, #cc2366 75%, #bc1888 100%);
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(45deg, #f09433 0%, #e6683c 25%, #dc2743 50%, #cc2366 75%, #bc1888 100%);
background: linear-gradient(45deg, #f09433 0%, #e6683c 25%, #dc2743 50%, #cc2366 75%, #bc1888 100%);
-webkit-background-clip: text;
-webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
}
.fa-instagram:hover {
color: hsla(181, 6%, 67%, 0.5);
