Sorry i forget to put the last option. if none of above code works modify that code like this

ul li a {
color: #ff6600!important;
}

i hope you will be able to put some custom css into your stylesheet. if you don’t know how to do it then go to theme directory. and locate style.css open up this file in your favourite text editor and add the above css in the last f that file.

Hope it helps you. if not then i am here to assist you further more.

Hi ccwalburn!
anything can be changed. Does this theme have an admin panel for theme customization? if it has then check it, otherwise you have to modify the stylesheet of the theme.
let me know if there is no option for menu font color customization in theme admin panel so we will help you editing the stylesheet of the theme.

Hello Again Profitpad!
to change your footer background and text color,
Navigate your theme files,
Open style.css
and at the bottom of you style.css add following lines.

.footer {
background : #23282d!important;
color : #fff!important;
}
.footer a,.footer h1,.footer h2{
color : #fff!important;
}

Hope the problem is solved?

Yes why not,
there are two versions of WordPress, self hosted blog and on WordPress.com.
on self hosted blog you have a complete control over core files and everything. but on WordPress you cant access WordPress core php files, but you can access your theme files, if you want some modification in it. to do so Go to Appearance->Editor, you theme files are there.

Yor are Welcome.

Do you use static front page? or if your front page is dynamically displayed by loop then you have to modify the Loop.like following,

if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post();?>

<h2><?php the_title();?>
<?php the_excerpt();?> //instead to use the_content();

<?php
endwhile;
endif;
?>

and you can control the excerpt length as your wish. to do so add the following line of codes to your functions.php

function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
	$length = 50; //or your desired value here.
        return $length;
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 999 );
