 * I’m using the following css code in an effort to change the background color 
   of my footer area, but as you can see if you view the site, the area’s background
   remain a dark shade of grayish-black.
 * .site-footer {
    background-color: #e6f7dc; color: #FFF; }
 * .site-footer a {
    color: #FFF; }
 * Is there a problem with this code, and where should I insert it into the css 
   stylesheet once the code is corrected?
 * Thanks for any help!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcss-for-theme-footer%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * The best place to put this css is in the customizer > additional css tab.
    The
   next best place is in the style.css file of your child theme.

 * Hi there,
 * You can change it by using the following CSS:
 *     ```
       media (min-width: 768px)
       .footer-credits {
           background-color: #e6f7dc;
           color: #FFF;
       }
       ```
