General ⇒ need citations to appear in black text not blue

[sammi]

My citations are currently appearing as blue hyperrefs eg. (Kurita et al., 2005).

My reviewers think that the blue coloured font is distracting and want citations to appear in black.

I have tried inserting the following but it doesn't work.
---------------
\usepackage[plainpages=false,pdfpagelabels]{hyperref}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{colorlinks,%
citecolor=black,%
filecolor=black,%
linkcolor=black,%
urlcolor=black
}
\usepackage{memhfixc} %Allows Hyperref in Memoir
---------------
Following typeset into pdf, the citations continue to appear in blue.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

You need to provide a minimal working example that actually produces the problem. If I simply put:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{memoir}
\usepackage[plainpages=false,pdfpagelabels]{hyperref}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{colorlinks,%
citecolor=black,%
filecolor=black,%
linkcolor=black,%
urlcolor=black
}
\usepackage{memhfixc}
\begin{document}
\cite{sampleref}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{sample}
\end{document}

The link is black, as expected. If yours are blue, there must be something else in your document that explains it, and you/we need to figure out what it is.

Hi Frabjous,

Thanks for your reply, "If yours are blue, there must be something else in your document that explains it, and you/we need to figure out what it is."

I did find what was wrong further down in the document! I've changed the citecolor to black and it works a treat.
