I am trying to align the footer text in the middle and by editing style.css nothing changes. Can someone help me out, what's wrong?

Whats the link to your code?
It's probably just an inherit issue.

Method 1) use !important; after your classname + attribute: (Quick but dirty method)

Code

.classname{ attribute: whatever !important;
}

OR the better seen approach.
Method 2)
Open up site in browser. Right click & 'Inspect Element' on the element you wish to change.
Under styles in the right hand corner there should be a plus icon - click that.
Then add the style you wish to add, this should call it by its html element first.
Then once you've got the style you want in the inspector, copy & paste over into style.css.
E.G

Code

ul.class-name{
class-name: attribute;
}

If the problem is still recurring after that, there is probably conflicts in the CSS and it would be case of calling the style lower in the stylesheet, or if not that then changing the order of the stylesheets that are being brought in by the <head>.

using the '!important' tag isn't really the best way. Are you sure you're editting the right css file? Is caching disabled?

Also, check if you're not writing CSS inside a @media-query.

sometimes WP settings override css. Hate when that happens.

most of the times in case of pirated themes custom.css or stylesheets.css are never working
thats one of pains of wordpress, cause small changes take whole fucking day looking in all files lmao
anyway things related to posts are in single.php/content-single.php etc
for footer it would be footer.php

Maybe you could check if these changes can be made through the modules and editing capabilities of the template such as Live Theme Editor or others you have installed.
