Hi,
I’m uisng Vantage Premium and it’s great. I’ve just run into one issue that I haven’t been able to fix. I want to remove all padding, top /bottom, in the Footer. My intention is to have the footer only consist of the footer’s background image. Since I’m using the box style (not full) I’ve tried using this code in custom CSS:

#colophon {
padding-bottom: 0px !important;
padding-top: 0px !important;
}

But unfortunately, the padding is still there. Can you advise?
Any assistance would be great.

    Hi Kl13

    You can fix/change this with some custom CSS. If you navigate to Appearance > Custom CSS, you’ll get our custom CSS editor. Just add the following code.

    #colophon {
    margin-bottom: 0;
}

    Hi Andrew,
    Thanks for the quick reply! Unfortunately the code didn’t change the bottom margin. I’ve also increased the body/container minimum height in an effort to force the footer down with this code:

    #main {
    min-height: 700px;
    }

    But the bottom border remains. :(

    I can’t see the Custom CSS I sent in your source code. Try clearing your caching plugin’s cache. Caching plugins are great but they can be a barrier during the development stage of your site.

    I cleared the cache, but still didn’t see results. I then disabled WP Super Cache and reloaded, but no change. Can you see the code now?

    Looking good now, no space at the bottom.

    Ok, I see now.

    The CSS we used did remove the space at the bottom of the site.

    What do you want to happen to the last green block? It has your site information text in it. What should happen to that?

    I was thinking that the image would be at the very bottom of the page once the padding was removed. I’d then change the color of the site information text to show up a bit better. Just so I understand correctly, we’ve removed the padding and the bottom green bar is there by design, is that right? Thanks again for all your help with this!

    That’s right. The site structure goes:

    Footer widget area: this is where you have the background.
    Footer site information text area: this is the light green box.
    Usually there is a margin here. We’ve removed it so the site information text box touches the bottom of the screen.
