Thanks, James, I will!

Thanks Paul! Who knew? (Most people, probably.) There’s some pretty interesting information in that link you posted. I’m going to experiment with Device Mode…and cross my fingers that most of my potential clients will see what I see on my screen.

Wow! So simple. Thanks AGAIN, Paul! May I ask another, related, question?

I just looked at my website on another computer, and the font is different (I’m assuming this depends on the computer), meaning that what I see as two lines (on my Mac) with my name and contact details, actually span down over about four lines. I made the horizontal spaces between my name, title, etc. simply using the space bar. Is there a way to create horizontal spaces between words which will keep the words together on one line? (The tab key doesn’t seem to work.) I would like the end result on all computers to be two lines of text. I hope my question is clear enough.

Thank you,
Francesca

Hi Rachid,

Thank you, but would you be able to copy the whole block of code that I am supposed to insert in my child theme stylesheet, please, because I don’t know how to find line 807.

Francesca

That’s perfect! Thank you so much, Paul!

Thanks! That’s encouraging, considering this is my first website (WordPress or otherwise). I didn’t know there was a Twenty Twelve forum; I’ll post there too.

Wow! Andrew, you are the best! Thank you! I’d just like to ask one more thing, if I may. I was told that I have some broken code, but I have no idea whatsoever how to fix it. What will happen if I leave things as they are?

And I read the following:

Thanks Andrew! I managed to hide the footer, as you suggested, with this code (in case anyone else is facing the same issue):

}

footer[role="contentinfo"]{
display: none;
}

Are you able to help with my other two problems, please? The one regarding the misaligned text is more important than the rounded corners issue.

I tried adding the following code to my child theme stylesheet to hide the footer. Is this correct? (Sorry, I can’t find the backtick on my Italian keyboard!) But there was no change.

.site-info {
display: none;
}

Thanks Andrew! Are you sure this is the solution? I don’t really want to push the text widget down to the bottom of the page, as that would just create a lot of superfluous space above it. My margins for the content are already at 0. As I mentioned in my last post, the spacing is fine on all pages since altering the footer padding, EXCEPT the two pages where I’ve used the Front Page Template text widget (the Home and Contact pages). I’m just concerned about implementing the many changes indicated in the article you suggested, and potentially undoing a whole lot of other work I’ve done.

I reduced the footer padding to 0 (I had already set the border to ‘none’) and that reduced the bottom space somewhat. The problem remains with the front page text widget (at the bottom of the page). I am unable to reduce the widget’s bottom margin/padding.

Hi Alchymyth, I looked at the links you provided regarding my broken code, but I don’t know how to rectify any of those things. What are the likely consequences if I leave them as they are? Thank you.

Thanks Brad! It worked to reduce the white space at the bottom of the page, but in doing so something changed and now the space immediately above and below my header/logo has increased! Argh!

The grey line I added appeared in the middle of the space between the end of content and the footer. Before it was just above the footer, which is where I would like it.

Brad, please disregard my last post. I found a code to remove the double grey lines (for some reason it didn’t work the last time I tried it). Plus, I have re-inserted your code, so there are no grey lines at all now. If possible, how can I reinstate the one grey line directly over the footer?

I would also like to reduce some (about half) of that white space between the footer and the end of the content. Thank you!

Thanks Brad. I couldn’t find that error anywhere (when you looked I had already deleted the new code, so perhaps some sort of “phantom” code remained with the error in it) so I just re-pasted your code. It worked this time, but it also deleted the grey line directly above my footer, which I want to keep. And it did not delete the double grey lines. I have now removed the new code again. Instead of “none” perhaps I could specify that it needs to keep the footer line. How would I do that, please?

Alchymyth, thank you, I’ll have to study your links and get back to you.
