I have found that the background just won’t change, woocommerce suggest the powerpak plugin, without that plugin there is not a Background color – option only the 3 heading, text & link color options.
Hello and sorry about your issue. You should be able to edit the footer.php file manually within your File Manager.
Thanks…

There are no plugins required to do this, the change is made through the theme.
