Landscape Child Theme Editing

    I’m a big newbie to this website stuff and learning as I go. I’ve created a child theme for the Landscape theme. I have never been successful at making an edit to the child theme. I’ve turned to plugins to make the changes I need, or have had to change the parent theme directly which I hate doing and totally defeats the purpose of having a child theme. However, now I am needing to change the color and font size of my footer and I can’t seem to make that change in the my child theme. I have copied and pasted the footer info from the parent theme’s stylesheet into my child theme and then made the edit I want and clicked Update and nothing happens!

    Maybe I’m doing this all wrong so any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks!!

  • In your child theme’s stylesheet, you have:

    /* =Theme customization starts here .

    You don’t have the */ to end the comment block, so the browser will interpret everything after that line as a comment and ignore it. The line should be:

    /* =Theme customization starts here . */

    Thanks super much! That absolutely worked. However, when I edited the footer info on the child theme it only changed the color of the “proudly powered by wordpress” portion. It doesn’t change the color of my copyright statement. That stays black. Any idea why? Or, what I can do to fix that?

    Thanks again!

    Your code only changed the color of the link text. Try this:

    #colophon{
	color: #FFFFFF;
	clear:both;
	max-width:100%;
	margin:20px auto 0;
	padding:40px;
	text-align:center;
	border-top:4px double #e6e6e6;
