Excellent! That did the trick. Thanks a million.

I want to overwrite the font color as it appears in the sidebar widgets, footer, underneath posts, and page titles. In my body tag i have:

font-size: 14px;
font-size: 1rem;
font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;
color: #fff;

and that takes care of any text in a post or page. I’d like to make that the default for everything on the site.

As far as links go, in the body i have:

a,
a em,
a strong {
color: #eac820;
outline: none;
}
a:focus,
a:active,
a:hover {
color: #eac820;
}

This works for everything in posts or pages, but not in the sidebar or in the “posted on ” ” by ” ” underneath. The footer also remains unchanged. Do I need to add sidebar and footer php files to my child theme to affect those areas?

I’m only changing the style.css in my child theme. No changes to the twentytwelve style.css.

I have no problems going through my style.css and finding and altering what I’m looking for most of the time. I’ve been able to change the default text color and do tons of layout changes to the site I’m working on, and that’s why I’m so stumped with this issue.
