I am new to coding and am making my first site on WP. I have been bludgeoning WP into submission using the HTML 5 Blank template. I am having trouble getting my footer to stay at the bottom of the page rather than floating in the middle at times. I understand how to do this on my end, however when I do it in WordPress weird things happen.
When I make my html height:100% in css or when I make my body position:absolute; all my content moves down the page by about the length of a page. I have been trying to band-aid it for each individual page but it creates more and more problems. Anyone got ideas?
the site (it's under a random directory so that I can build it while it's not completely live).
You HAVE TO SET height on html and body and then on footer set position absolute. Use below css
html, body {padding:0; margin:0; height:100%;}
footer{position: absolute; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0;}
Use overflow:hidden; for footer upper div.

Here is the html and css that i am using: https://gist.github.com/zacatac26/d5733e9289be157982a448a03bda6711
this is only a single page but just making this page work is fine.
I want to make it so the header and body is always in the same place on the webpage but also have the text in the body scroll. I have tried position: fixed and overflow: scroll/auto, but when i do so the page appears how i want but the text does not scroll.
Any help would be appreciated.
Typically the best way to achieve this is just to apply the position: fixed CSS rule to the container of the header element. position: fixed removes the element from the flow, like position: absolute, so you need to also tell the browser where to position the container, e.g. top: 0. To manage the width of the header, you can use left: 0; right: 0; or width: 100%.
I think this page gives the best example of how to achieve what you are going for: https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_css_fixed_menu.asp. I'd suggest starting with the HTML/CSS templates given in the tutorial and then add the content and styles from your Gist piece by piece, reviewing the results after each change to make sure that it still looks/behaves as you expect.
I had to make the background image part of the fixed header so that the page content would go underneath the header image and navmenu with no overlapping. I used the same percentages that enclosed the header for the background image with top:, bottom:, left: and right:
I want to add a logo at the bottom of the very first page. Ideally I'd position:absolute it bottom:0 - but anything positioned to the bottom in wkhtmltopdf doesn't seem to work.
This is a problem because the logo is dynamic and could have different heights depending on the aspect-ratio of the uploaded image.
I see that I can add a footer, but this adds it to all pages, and I only want this on one page.
What are my options? Do I have to position-absolute it from the top? If so, what if the page size changes? This needs to work in A4 and US Letter.
I was having the same issue and solved by actually adding a width to the element. So, for the element I want to stick to the bottom I have this css:
.footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
}
This didn't work for me. (using python's pdfkit)
I had a one page document and I wanted a footer.
I had to set the height of the page to be the height of a sheet of paper (<body style="height: 297mm">) and then absolute position worked correctly.
Had the same issue, used the answer of Carlo but changed it to use the top margin since it is using the document margins. This way the element was always on the bottom of the first page.
.footer {
position: absolute;
top: 700px;
width: 100%;
}
I want to display my footer at the bottom of the page, relative to the content area. So it should adapt if my browser is smaller or larger, up until where the content area stops.
I tried to follow this link but I can't seem to get it to work on my website.
I added the PUSH div at the bottom of my content area
I set the correct heights and adjustments in the css
My footer is still displayed half way on my screen and also messes up the titles. The guys that sold me the Wordpress theme are reluctant to help me ...
If anyone could guide me in the right direction that would be a great help!
I think this could do what you want:
body {
padding-bottom: 50px;
/* Set a padding-botton equivalent
to the height of your footer
this is for preventing the
footer to be covered because
of its z-index
*/
}
footer{
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
z-index: -999;
}
Hope it works ;)
Add the following code to your css:
footer{
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
z-index: 999;
}
The footer will be always on the bottom.
Ok so the issue here is this, you can stick the item to the bottom as #Dzhambazov suggested either with position:absolute or position: fixed it is going to stay in place at the bottom even if that is halfway up your content.
So you can go with other alternates like: How do you get the footer to stay at the bottom of a Web page?
Mentioned in the comments, but this is not going to be as easy with a prebuilt theme as you will be fighting with the theme dev's structure.
What you could do as a fix to make it more bearable is to increase the minimum height of the content so that it "fakes" the footer further down, this has its draw backs and could mean that your footer is off the bottom of the view port, but if it is irritating you to that level. you could try.
#content {
min-height: 200px;
/* forces the content block to take up space */
}
hope that helps other wise stick the footer to the bottom as mentiones and have it always display, but note that may trash mobile so you will want to remove the positioning via a media query for phones etc.
I am currently working on a website design using the 960 grid system and came across a small snag in the final moments of the design.
Ultimately, I just want to set my header and footer bars to be 'fixed' on the page, so that they will remain stationary even when the rest of the page is scrolling. Here is a great example of a fixed navigation bar.

Mine wont be vertical, but you get the point.
The problem that I am coming across is that the header works perfectly, and exactly the way I suspect it will. Here is the HTML for my header
<div id="header">
<p>
ATS Logo
</p>
</div><!--end header-->
and the css to make it stretch and fix the position
#header
{
background:grey;
width:100%;
height:65px;
position:fixed
/*padding:15px;*/
}
This solution works exactly the way i want it too. However, when i apply the same exact settings to the footer, it causes undesired results.
Here is a fiddle to show what I mean. You will have to uncomment the 'position:fixed' line for the footer to see what i mean.
http://jsfiddle.net/s4cWP/
and full screen
http://jsfiddle.net/s4cWP/embedded/result/
Its worth noting that in addition to using my own css (located at the top of the jsFiddle!) i am using the 960 reset grid and 960 12 column style sheet.
I would really appreciate a push in the right direction. Is there something im not accounting for here?
Thanks!
I'm assuming you want the footer to always appear like the header: JSFiddle.
New #footer:
#footer
{
background:grey;
width:100%;
position:fixed;
bottom:0;
left:0;
}
Also, due to overlapping, I added padding to the bottom of the #container:
#container
{
padding-top:75px;
padding-bottom:30px;
}
i grabbed a template from themeforest and modded it. all works well, except, on some pages, the footer isn't sticking at the bottom of the page. i've messed w/ the css a bit, but haven't been able to get it stick. i'm still learning html/css so wanted some help in reviewing it to make sure i don't have any mistakes in my html. i haven't modded the css from the initial template. i did some, but reverted them before the post, as they were attempts at getting the footer to stick.
here is a link to the site > http://capitalcrestoration.com/build/
I think from your question you are asking how to make the footer appear at the bottom of the window at all times.
To do this you just need to change the CSS rule for #subfooter-wrapper:
#subfooter-wrapper {
background: url("images/sub_footer_bg.jpg") repeat-x scroll 0 0 transparent;
width: 100%;
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
z-index: 1000;
}
You could try giving CSSStickyFooter a shot.
You need to do something with your CSS to position the footer element at the bottom of the window. Otherwise it's just a block element that will be directly under it's sibling.
Try placing div id="subfooter-wrapper" just before the closing tag of the wrapper, and using position:absolute; bottom: 0;
