title: Can't change footer colour in wordpress
body: <p>I have spent hours trying to figure out what's going wrong, but I can't seem to figure out why I can't change the colour of the text in my wordpress footer.</p>
  
  <p>Here's the code for footer.php:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div id="footer"&gt;
  
  &lt;div class="fcred"&gt;
  Copyright &amp;copy; &lt;?php echo date('Y');?&gt; &lt;a href="&lt;?php
  bloginfo('siteurl'); ?&gt;" title="&lt;?php bloginfo('name'); ?&gt;"&gt;&lt;?php
  bloginfo('name'); ?&gt;&lt;/a&gt; - &lt;?php bloginfo('description'); ?&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;?php fflink();?&gt; | &lt;a href="info@XXX.com" title="Contact Developer"&gt;Developed by XXX&lt;/a&gt; Design by &lt;a href="http://www.XXX.com" title="WordPress Themes"&gt;XXX Themes&lt;/a&gt;.
  &lt;/div&gt;  
  &lt;div class='clear'&gt;&lt;/div&gt;   
  
  &lt;?php wp_footer(); ?&gt;
  
  &lt;/div&gt;
  
  &lt;/body&gt;
  &lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>below are the relevant CSS lines - I've tried to change everything to white, but nothing changes in the actual site:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#footer {
      padding:5px 0 5px 0px;
      color:#FFF;
      font-size:11px;
      background:#000 ;
      z-index: 200;
      bottom: 0px;
      left: 0px !important;
      position: fixed;
      width:100%;
      clear:both;
      }
  
  #footer a:link , #footer a:visited{
      color:#FFF;
      }
  
  #footer a:hover {
      color:#FFF;
      }
  
  
  .fcred {
      width:700px;
      text-align:left;
      margin:0px 0px 0px 30px;
      line-height:16px;   
  }   
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Nothing I do seems to make any change on the actual site. I'm fairly sure the code is OK and it seems like it's being overridden somehow, but I have no idea where to look. I'm fairly new to Wordpress in general so would appreciate any input.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
