Reply To: D) The link text in the footer is now the default “epik-xxx” color instead

The theme is using text-underline instead of a color change when you hover over it. This does make sense in my opinion and it’s very common amongst themes/sites (look at any of the recent StudioPress themes).

So this isn’t an actual issue, but rather a personal preference. We can easily change this by adding something like this to the css –

.site-footer a {
    color: #fff;
}

.site-footer a:hover {
    color: #293F5E;
}

….and of course you could change this to any color you want.
