Footer Displaying on top of content even with positions set - html

Question

I cannot for the life of me
figure out why my footer is showing up in the middle of my webpage. I have my #content div set to have a height of 100% and have given it a relative position; and I even added an absolute position to my footer with bottom: 0;. What am I missing? I can't figure out what is causing it to not follow the normal flow of elements in the page!
I've checked several posts with this same problem, but the suggestion is almost always what I've tried above. I did try getting rid of the position for #content and the footer and instead setting display: inline-block; for both (was suggested in another post), and that didn't do anything.

<div class="top-section">
<div class="top-text">

<p><?php echo $topsection['consumer_top_content']; ?></p>
<img src="<?php echo $topsection['consumer_top_icon']; ?>" />

<?php endif; ?>

</div><!-- .wrap -->
</footer><!-- #colophon -->
</div><!-- .site-content-contain -->
</div><!-- #page -->
And here's my relevant CSS
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
.consumer-page {
min-width: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
}
#content {
position: relative;
height: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
}
footer#colophon {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
}

Answer 1

Your main problem is that .consumer-page is getting a position:absolute and its messing with your elements heights
Lets try the next classes:
.consumer-page {
min-width: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
position: initial;
left: 0;
top: 0;
}
.wrap {
padding: 0;
width: 100vw;
max-width: 100vw;
margin: 0;
}
#content {
padding: 0;
}
footer#colophon {
position: initial;
bottom: 0;
}
