White empty space underneath the footer when the page has lack of content

  • Dear Zakra developers team,

    Recently I noticed that if some page is empty or has a lack of content there is a white empty space underneath the footer.

    I googled it and have found a workaround – applying this css:

    .zak-site {
    	overflow: hidden !important;
    }

    Could you fix the reason of such behaviour or if this is an intendant behaviour could you confirm that the provided workaround is legit and does not brake anything?

  • Hi @bibelwort,

    Thanks for writing us.

    Could you kindly share the screenhost of the empty space underneath the footer you are referring to, as I couldn’t find such issues on the footer. Here is the screenshot for your reference : https://prnt.sc/pu4d0Fjtq3Cy

    Kindly share te screenshot of the issue and I will get back to you accordingly.
    Regards!

    Hi @rohitkc32 !

    Here it is the screenshot of an almost blank page without the sidebar and without the overflow css-rule (the border line on the screenshot is because of the viewport border added by the Edge browser when it makes screenshots of pages that do not fit a single screen):

    If we add the sidebar the content height becomes large enough and than there is no any blank space under the footer:

    If we apply ‘overflow: hidden’ rule to the zak-site class, the blank space under the footer vanishes:

    BUT! Within this test I have found that there is still some white space under the footer even with the ‘overflow’ rule. I did not notice that before, because it is the first time when the test page has only one line of text. Here I add extra 95 pixels to the page content (via Spacer block), and now there is no empty space under the footer anymore:

    space_under_footer_overflow_hidden_extra.jpg

    As I understand this is because of the invisible ‘Scroll to Top’ button:

    I will remain this test page on my site for a while (with one single line of text and activated ‘overflow’ rule), so you can check the code: https://sentino.org/test-empty-page/
