White Space Below Footer

  • I’m developing my faith community’s website. Fortunately, it’s in sandbox right now and I want to make it live soon. However, after updating to WordPress 4.2.1 one of the pages I noticed had white below the footer, and I can’t seem to locate where it’s coming from.

    >> I’ve tried messing around with deactivating plugins.
    >> When highlighting the white space in Firebug I can’t locate what is causing it.
    >> I took out my personalized stylesheet to see if it was something I was doing but that didn’t do the trick either.
    >> I’ve contacted UpThemes (who I bought the theme from–called “Uplifted” btw) but I have not received a response.

    Could it be a problem with the theme, something I’m doing, a bug in WordPress 4.2.1?

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks community.

  • I think that it happens because there isn’t enough content on the page to push below the viewport. So one solution would be to add more content.

    That’s the default behaviour of HTML elements; to expand height to fit the content.

    You could add this rule to your CSS

    html {
background-color: #717171;
}

    That should make the white area the same color as the footer so that it won’t appear to be there.

    Thanks Martcol!

    I will try to figure more content for the page but I did update the CSS so at least it’s the same gray color and not a big white gap!
