Reduce Footer Padding

Recommended Posts

Site URL: https://willowandwhitestudio.com/home

I am trying to reduce the padding of my footer using Squarespace 7.1. I have tried various CSS but can't seem to get it working.

I'd like the bottom section below the Instagram section to be about half the height that it currently is.

Can anyone please help?

password for the page is: workinprogress

I have tried using the following CSS and playing around with padding - it seems to work initially, but then once saved, it goes back to the original height.

 

footer#footer-sections {
  padding-top:-100px;
}

 

I also currently have the following code to make my instagram feed full width:

 

//*Full width IG footer*//

#footer-sections section:first-of-type {

  min-height: auto;

}

 

#footer-sections section:first-of-type .content-wrapper {

  padding: 0!important;

  max-width: 100%;

}

 

#footer-sections section:first-of-type .instagram-block {

  padding-bottom: 0!important;

  padding-top: 0!important;

}

 

Not sure if the code is interfering somehow? I'm still learning CSS!

Thank you!

Thank you so much! How did you find the right selector to use? I use Google Chrome's Block Identifier but couldn't find that block ID.

That block has no ID, you will need to know about the code to use the ID of another block, for the current block...

Thanks. How would I go about reducing the spacing between these two sections on the home page so that there is less white space?

 

 

Try adjusting Section Height first.

If it doesnt work, add this code to Home > Design > Custom CSS

[data-section-id="5e6e48b1a53943154aaf8783"] .content-wrapper {
    padding-bottom: 0 !important;
}
[data-section-id="5e6e4eb88afded74f541fbe2"] .content-wrapper {
    padding-top: 0 !important;
}

@tuanphan

I have tried using your code above with the block ID for my site to remove the white space above the Insta feed but it doesn't seem to be working. I am currently using div#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1590766319551_24557 {
    padding-bottom: 0;
    padding-top: 0;
}

This removes bottom spacing but not top.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

A

Hello, I tried to reduce my footer by using this code but it caused blank space to appear as if there is not enough page for the website.  Any suggestions on how to reduce the footer but remove the blank space as well?

Do you still need help on this? If yes, can you take screenshot the padding? WE can check easier.

hi @tuanphan

am also trying to remove extra grey space between the sections and footer across my site, have tried to minimize the footer padding at top, but doesn't seem to be working only enlarging the space. When I select L or 100 height for the section above it works, but I end up with too much white space which I don't want. Help much appreciated!

Would love some help with this, as well (my first 7.1 site and some of my 7.0 CSS hacks aren't working). I'm looking to get the footer content width at 100%, but can't seem to find the right identifiers in the source code.
