Bootstrap 4 css issue

[Happy_coder_UK!!]

Hello all

I created a pretty simple portfolio site using Bootstrap 4.

The CSS styles were brought in using the CDN 'https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css'

I have overwritten a number of styles using scss/css and it's always been a simple task to to do this.

But I have a number of links within bullet points which have retained the default blue colour from the bootstrap CSS. It's fine in Chrome and Firefox but not in Safari (13.1).

In my global scss file, I have used the code 

.a{

color: $primary-color !important;

}

But for the links within the li bullet points, the blue colour is retained. For all the other links, in <p> tags, the primary-colour is successfully displayed to overwrite the blue colour.

Surely all the links on the site should have the primary colour applied to the text. See below for the html code:

<div class="col-lg-4">

<p>xxxxxx</p>

<ul class="custom-bullet">

<li>xxxx <a href="https://www.xxxx" target="_blank"> xxx</a> xxxx xxxx</li>

<li>xxxx <a href="https://www.xxxx" target="_blank"> xxx</a> xxxx xxxx</li>

<li>xxxx <a href="https://www.xxxx" target="_blank"> xxx</a> xxxx xxxx</li>

<li>xxxx <a href="https://www.xxxx" target="_blank"> xxx</a> xxxx xxxx</li>

</div>

I have tried using divs and classes to use the specificity rules but nothing seems to overwrite the link default colours.

When I start up a local server in Safari, I don't have a problem. It's only when I apply the code to the live site that I have the above issue. I have googled the issue but can't see a workaround to the problem.

I'd really appreciate any help on this.

Regards
Sean

Are you able to use the DOM inspector to see which styles are being applied?

Edit: Considering Safari is the one with the problem, have you cleared the browser's cache? I am aware that Safari has a very aggressive cache.
