Add visited to link element allowed pseudo selector list #42096

getdave · 2022-07-01T14:42:56Z

What?

Enables usage of :visited pseudo class within theme.json for link element only.

Why?

Because it's a common selector.

How?

Add to the allow list.

Testing Instructions

Activate empty theme
Add the following block the appropriate place in your theme.json

"styles": {
    "elements": {
        "link": {
            ":visited": {
                "color": {
                    "text": "green"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Check that once you've visited a link within the Editor & on the front end of the site it turns green.
Check the dev tools to confirm 100% that the :visited selector is used.

Added the Needs Dev Note label in case this needs a dev note (either individual or as part of a "misc" dev note) for WP 6.1 release.
