Copyright Footer: Link Text (Keep Bold not Underline)

Hi Noda

Thank you for your excellent support.

In the Copyright Footer, can I remove the line under words with links – and keep those words bolded?

Nothing on the frontend changes, when I try tips online to add
style=”text-decoration:none;”
to ‘Copyright Text’ in ‘Highend Theme Options / Layout Settings / Footer Layout’.

I tried:
– with and without a semi-colon after ‘none’;
– after and before ‘href’.

Here is my Copyright Text:
© [the-year] < a href=”https://avto.host/&#8221; target=”_blank” > < strong > Avto Corp < /strong > < /a > of < a href = “https://rjtutak.com/&#8221; target=”_blank” > < strong > RJTutak Corp < /strong > < /a >

Excuse me if I made a mistake. Grateful if you could offer a solution.

Much appreciated! Best wishes, Ryan
