I am also having trouble styling the link items in the footbar using the customizer. For some reason, when I select a color using the “Link” selection in the customizer, it shows up correctly when I’m still in the customizer, but when I (after publishing) look at the final web page, the link color hasn’t been changed. If you look at my site, you can see what I mean. http://nimblethimble.firstmethodistsb.org
