Footer color change in twenty eleven theme

Add this to your CSS.

#colophon {
    background-color:#ccc;
}

But change the hex code to what color you want.

This the code you need to make change in child theme style.css change the background

#site-generator {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #F9F9F9;
    border-top: 1px solid #DDDDDD;
    color: #666666;
    font-size: 12px;
    line-height: 2.2em;
    padding: 1.2em 0.5em;
    text-align: center;
}

Ya dont follow what I said, needs to be done at #site-generator, I didn’t bother to check/test first.

WP Bum your instruction did not work.

Govpatel, your instruction has worked very well. However can you suggest how can I change the link color on footer?

Try the “color” in the same code section.

Not clear. I see copyright is in black but the privacy and terms are different colors

They are grey as they are links and you can the color on this code in

#site-generator a {
color: #555555;
font-weight: bold;
}

Change 555555 to what ever color you want

Excellent instruction. It worked nicely.

You are welcome

please start your own topic.

Hi Twiesselmann, Simply add the following code in the style.css section of your child theme. I got black color by using that code in my site. You can check it here https://www.aas-bd.com. It is effective code to change footer text color or footer link color change.
#site-generator a {
color: #000000;
font-weight: normal;
}

hi aasbd

i made what u said ??

}
#site-generator a {
color: #000000;
font-weight: bold;
}

but nothing happened…

what did i wrong?

I checked your site by firebug(F12) and I did not find such code. Try it again in your child theme I think it will work.
