Child Theme and Coding

Hello,

I am trying to modify basic colors and small elements in a theme I purchased. I decided to try this using a child theme, but none of my css seems to be working.

I’m relatively new to WordPress, so I’m not sure if maybe I’m doing something wrong.

In particular, I’d like to change the gray boxed areas (especially on the bottom of the page) that appear throughout the theme.

For that particular area, I was using this code:

#exodus-footer-top { background-color: #f4ddaa; }

I’ve tried a number of css combinations and nothing seems to work.

The website appears at evangelephrata.com. Any insight that could be provided would be much appreciated.
