 * The plugin does not add any HTML classes or elements by default. You can add 
   them in your theme’s `footer.php` file where you have the `footer_text()` function.
 * Either around the function:
 * `<div class="footer-text"><?php footer_text(); ?></div>`
 * Or you can pass before and after text to the function itself:
 * `<?php footer_text( '', '<div class="footer-text">', '</div>' ); ?>`

 * Can you send me the contents of your footer.php file?
 * Don’t paste it in the forum, instead upload it to [http://gist.github.com](http://gist.github.com)
   or [http://pastebin.com](http://pastebin.com) and paste the link in here.

 * Now you can use the `.footer-text` class in your CSS.

 * Sorry for replying so late. I ve tried to use this code but it still doesn t 
   want to work… But many thanks for your help.
 * If you prefer, maybe you could just say me how to change the visited, hover and
   active color of the links I put in the footer, in HTML.
    Here is a part of my
   code in Footer-Text:
 * <p style=”font-family: open sans; text-align: center; font-size: 11px;”>
    […]
   </p>

 * Sorry it’s taken me so long to reply, I’ve been pretty busy the past week.
 * There is no way to style pseudo states in inline styles. However, what you can
   do is add a class name in the footer text input, and then style it in your style.
   css.
 * In the footer text box:
 * `<p class="some-footer-class'>[...]</p>`
 * In style.css:
 *     ```
       .some-footer-class {
           font-family: Open Sans;
           text-align: center;
           font-size: 11px;
       }
   
       .some-footer-class:visited {
           color: purple;
       }
   
       .some-footer-class:hover {
           color: red;
       }
       ```
