    Hi,

    I’m running the Kleo theme on WordPress and I’ve noticed a small amount of white space between the footer and the very bottom of each page which I can’t remove. I’ve tried several fixes, all of which haven’t helped so far.

    Here’s the site: https://www.citizen-state.com/

    Any ideas or tips would be massively appreciated. Thanks so much in advance.

    This sounds like a lot of work, is there any chance you could contact your theme author about this? I think you will need to implement this solution that involves restructuring PHP and adding CSS: https://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/keeping-footers-at-the-bottom-of-the-page

    Hey @storefrontcity,

    Sorry, I am not seeing my original reply.

    It looks like there is a “:)” symbol underneath your footer in the left corner causing the extra space.

    The code is:

    <img src="https://pixel.wp.com/g.gif?v=ext&j=1%3A5.0&blog=87655099&post=7816&tz=0&srv=www.citizen-state.com&host=www.citizen-state.com&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.citizen-state.com%2Faction%2F&rand=0.43693387186385313" alt=":)" width="6" height="5" id="wpstats"/>

    Looks like wpstats may be the cause, do you have that plugin installed? Try deactivating it…

    Hope that helps!

    Hi @jordanwpcom,

    Thanks so much for your help with this. I don’t have wpstats installed, so I’m not entirely sure why this is showing up (maybe bundled with the theme?). At any rate, how should I best go about finding the above code and fixing it? Do you know which file this would be located in?

    Thank you so very much!

    Hey @storefrontcity,

    Ok that’s interesting, perhaps it is bundled with your theme.
    The first file I’d check is footer.php within your theme folder.
    Then I would check index.php, page.php and post.php also from within the theme folder.

    If you find that chunk of code, delete it.

    Let me know if you still can’t find it.

    Thanks so much for this. Resolved the problem now. Looks like Jetpack has incorporated the smiley into their states and I have that installed. I’ve deactivated the smiley and now the page is displaying correctly.

    Thanks for all your help!
