Need to Change Footer Font and Background Colour in CSS

    Hi there. I need to change my footer properties and my theme (Gateway) does not allow it, so my only option it seems is to change them via CSS.

    My site is: kylanknowler.com

    If you scroll to the footer, you will see the pink and gray colour scheme of the footer does not match/mesh with the black/white/red of the rest of the blog. I have put many, many hours into reorganizing/refurbishing my website since switching from the Eighties theme to this one, and I am not going to switch again for a very long time, so I need to be able to make these changes.

    Other than having no plugin support, the Gateway theme is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Once I am able to change the footer properties I will have only minor grievances with the theme.

    Can someone with CSS knowledge please help me? Thank you.

    (P.S., it’s asinine, in my opinion, for a theme not to include options as rudimentary as these. I don’t understand the logic at all; it’s incredibly frustrating.)

    Hi there, I’ve used some obnoxious colors in the following. You can of course edit those. :) 

    .footer-wrap {
    background-color: #cc0000;
}
.footer-widgets a {
    color: #33ff33;
}
.widget_archive ul, .widget_categories ul, .widget_pages ul, .widget_links ul, .widget_meta ul, .widget_recent_comments ul, .widget_recent_entries ul {
    color: #3399ff;
}
.site-info, .site-info a {
    color: #ffff33;
}
.site-footer .widget-title {
    color: #ff9933;
}

    The above should get you on your way to making things look more in line with the design of the rest of your site.

    Thank you, that worked.

    I had used a string of code like that (through googling the issue) but it didn’t work. Is CSS code theme-specific?

    Thank you again. My site looks much more coherent now.

    Ky, glad that got you what you want. Yes, for the most part CSS is theme specific. On themes that are created by a single designer, there can be some consistency between themes, but in general it is specific to the theme.
