What is the best way to eliminate the text-decoration underline from a flex child when the parent is designated as the anchor?

I need help removing the text-decoration of a flex child when the parent is the anchor. Despite trying various CSS code, it doesn't seem to work as expected. On my WordPress site, the underline only shows on hover, but in the jsFiddle example I created, it shows all the time. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your help!

.fleximagebox_link:hover, 
a.fleximagebox_link:hover, 
a .fleximagebox_link:hover, 
.fleximagebox_link a:hover, 
.fleximagebox_link:hover a, 
a .fleximagebox_link p:hover, 
.image_background:hover, 
.image_background:hover a, 
a .image_background:hover, 
.image_background.fleximagebox_link a:hover, 
a .image_background.fleximagebox_link:hover {
text-decoration: none!important; 
}

If you'd like to see the issue illustrated, here is the link to the jsFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/Clare12345/th60mde3/2/

Answer №1

To remove the underline from your fiddle, use this code snippet: 

.flexbox_images a { text-decoration: none; }

If you are wondering why the underline appears on your website, we can only speculate without access to your code or site link. You could try updating that line of code to: 

.flexbox_images a, .flexbox_images a:hover { text-decoration: none !important; }

/* CSS Code */
.flexbox_images a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

.main_box {
  /* Other styles here */
}

/* More CSS styles... */


<div class="main_box">
  <div class="flexbox_images">
    <a href="">
      <div class="image_background image_background_left">
        <div class="fleximagebox_link">Buy
          <div class="main_black_bar">&nbsp;</div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </a>
    
    <a href="">
      <div class="image_background image_background_right">
        <div class="fleximagebox_link">
          <div class="main_black_bar">&nbsp;</div>Sell</div>
      </div>
    </a>
  </div>
</div>
