Hi @john_graver
With WordPress 4.7, the core has added an additional CSS functionality instead of Site Wide CSS
Copy all the styles in Site Wide CSS and paste it in the Additional CSS section.
When the style setting is empty, the Site Wide CSS section disappears.
I tried to add your specified style to Additional CSS, it worked for me.

Note:
#access background style can set customizer.
I do not know if it fits your purpose, but please try it even when you have time.
Customizer / Presentation / Menu
Primary Menu Link Color
Primary Menu Background Color
Thank you

Hi Nobita,
Thanks for the suggestion. I have removed the obsolete section “site-wide css” and the code is now in Additional css. I have also set the menu background color ind customizer. These changes wor fine but the footer link color still does not have the color specified in customizer (Colors -> footer link color – should be red).

…just to add: I have my own code in Custom footer credit:
<span>[<a href="http://skkp-karate.cz/feed/" target="_blank">RSS</a> | <a href="http://skkp-karate.cz/wp-admin/" target="_blank">administrace</a> | <a href="http://skkp-karate.cz/wp-login.php">login</a>]</span>
In Customizer I have set footer font color (this works) and footer link color (this does not work).
I confirmed that footer link color is not working properly.
This bug is due to misconfiguration in Raindrops 1.462.
I will fix it in the next version.
In the meantime, please set style.css to the same color as the customizer setting.
In the next version, the contents of style.css are overwritten and reflect the colors set by the customizer.
Thank you for good pointing out.
Hi Nobita,
Ok, thanks. It is not a big deal for me – I just wait for the new version.

Hi Nobita,
Justo for info: I have installed version 1.468 but the footer link color in customizer still does not work for me. I’ve tried it also with my another site (gravers.net), where I do not have the custom footer credit, but with the same result.
The color appears only when I click on the link and hold the mouse.
In case I want to change the link color in css – what is the css element for it?

Hi @john_graver
If you are using a child theme and the child theme has footer.php, add the footer class with reference to the following code
https://github.com/tenman/raindrops/blob/master/footer.php#L27
child theme does not have footer.php, and Customizer setting does not work
You can add style for footer link
Customize / Additional CSS
add below
#ft a{
color:red;
}
Save and Publish
Info: When you wrap with the address element, it becomes center aligned.
<address><span>[<a href="http://skkp-karate.cz/feed/" target="_blank">RSS</a> | <a href="http://skkp-karate.cz/wp-admin/" target="_blank">administrace</a> | <a href="http://skkp-karate.cz/wp-login.php">login</a>]</span> </address>
Thank you.
Hi Nobita,
I have added the css as you suggest – now it is ok. Funny thing is that the footer font color set in customizer works fine but the footer link color not.
