Can I reduce some of this whitespace in the footer and right above the footer?

In the white area and/or purple areas.

Hello,

You can add this code in your custom css section of the theme panel to reduce the bottom padding of the container:

.td-main-content-wrap{
padding-bottom:0;
}

Thank you!

Can you guys put together a video tutorial on how to determine how to to determine what CSS to edit or refer me to one? This would answer 25% of my questions here.

Thanks

That worked for the whitespace in the white area above the footer. What about the extra spacing in the purple footer? Or can I put something in it so it looks less empty?

You can also add this code for the purple space:

.td-footer-template-14 .td-footer-bottom-full{
padding-top: 0;
}

Thank you!

I just noticed there is now extra spacing in the footer when being viewed on a mobile. You can see it here:

Hi,

I could remove the margin set there – https://www.screencast.com/t/I8leqn1QrBbw

But you also have some invisible titles there
https://www.screencast.com/t/fBXaEyxC
These seem to have the same color as the background so they are invisible. I believe they take the color set here
https://www.screencast.com/t/3Sh9MCYS8WsM
I could include a color change in the code if you don’t want to change the footer background or that setting
https://www.screencast.com/t/kV5lLFQx

Use the codes if you wish, enter them in the phones section if you want them to apply only on phones
https://www.screencast.com/t/IspRbg9j

.td-footer-bottom-full .td-pb-row>div {
margin-bottom: 0;
}

.td-theme-wrap .td-footer-bottom-full .block-title > span {
color: #ffd100!important;
}

Thanks

That was it. Where are those words coming from? Can I hide the ABOUT US and FOLLOW US words? If not, there needs to be an extra space below my email address and the FOLLOW US words.

thanks.

Those sections are predefined in the post template you use, so the about us text will have a title and the social links will have a title. This is where they come from
https://www.screencast.com/t/jk1sHT1k

If you want to remove them you could remove the color code and let them be invisible like they were in the first place
https://www.screencast.com/t/OStwFIeGp
The result would be the somewhat the same as with a display:none.

I dont mind keeping but I now need to add an extra space between my email address and the FOLLOW US words. Can I do that?

thanks

So initially it looked like this – https://www.screencast.com/t/Z1qWK9ale
The code removed the margins completely – https://www.screencast.com/t/SSCLy36Rg

Maybe remove only the top margin – https://www.screencast.com/t/FdUlOXkIMYV4 and leave the space between the email and socials.

Remove the previous code and enter this one

.td-footer-bottom-full .td-pb-row>div.td-pb-span3 {
margin-bottom: 0;
}

Post count: 376

I’m not sure if you mean to remove all of the code or just some of it.

This is what I now have commented out:

/* Remove extra whitespace around footer */
/*.td-main-content-wrap{ padding-bottom:0; }/*

/*Remove extra purple space in purple footer */
/*.td-footer-template-14 .td-footer-bottom-full{ padding-top: 0; }*/

And I entered this:

.td-footer-bottom-full .td-pb-row>div.td-pb-span3 {
margin-bottom: 0;
}

There isn’t carriage return between my email address and the FOLLOW US text on mobile.

What am I missing?

Post count: 376

Oh, you are referring to the mobile phone section. I commented out what you gave me and now the text is purple and not seen again.

Post count: 376

Ok, these are the only 2 I have in the phones section and I can see the text but there is still not that carriage return (or space,or whatever) I’m looking for. I tried deleting the first and only having the bottom one and it didn’t work. I had the bottom 2 and the text turned to purple.


.td-footer-bottom-full .td-pb-row>div {
margin-bottom: 0;
}

.td-theme-wrap .td-footer-bottom-full .block-title > span {
color: #ffd100!important;
}

.td-footer-bottom-full .td-pb-row>div.td-pb-span3 {
margin-bottom: 0;
}

Remove the code that I provided for the margins initially (space), this one

.td-footer-bottom-full .td-pb-row>div {
margin-bottom: 0;
}

This code removed both these margins – https://www.screencast.com/t/SSCLy36Rg

Now the new one will remove only the margin below the logo, you said that you want some space between the email and social
https://www.screencast.com/t/QFFXdC1KhUA
So the margin below the About us will remain – https://www.screencast.com/t/qcqEBG3uLX4

If none of this is what you want, remove all the codes provided in this topic and explain in more details how you want it to look. Make some screenshots so I can provide a more accurate solution.

The result should be like this using the intended codes only, the ones below
https://www.screencast.com/t/bLh5xKR96BC

.td-footer-bottom-full .td-pb-row>div.td-pb-span3 {
margin-bottom: 0;
}
.td-theme-wrap .td-footer-bottom-full .block-title > span {
color: #ffd100!important;
}

Perfect. Can you suggest a good tutorial on CSS? 75% of my questions are CSS. I understand what you are doing somewhat when I see your code but how do I find the elements to edit?

thanks

Well this is weird. Now there is an extra line near the top. I don’t know if I did something, if it’s related to this, or whatever.

See :

thanks again

You could check this guide for starters
https://forum.tagdiv.com/create-custom-code-using-the-browsers-inspector/
The browser inspector tool is a powerful instrument, very helpful to analyze various website elements and also modify them if needed.

What extra line would that be exactly? I fail to see it, or anything wrong with that top part. I must be misunderstanding.

Thanks for that link. I’ll read over it this week.

I understand now, you mean that padding. I was looking for an actual line, sorry for that.

That is a padding top set for the page
https://www.screencast.com/t/rWRDNqKjF
By default that would be applying for the page, only with some CSS it can be removed
https://www.screencast.com/t/BG5mhfPJ2Kb

.home .td-main-page-wrap {
padding-top: 0;
}

Post count: 376

Ahh. I see what you did. Interesting.

That worked.

Thanks again.

Post count: 376

Ya know what. I tried:

.home .td-main-page-wrap {
padding-top: 5;
}

…and it looks just like

.home .td-main-page-wrap {
padding-top: 10;
}

Can you not set the padding to 2,3,4, etc? Is it only 0 or 10?

thanks

Post count: 20688

You can set any value (except negative) when using padding. Don’t forget to specify a measure unit (like px)

.home .td-main-page-wrap {
padding-top: 10px;
}
