Footer width

[nat87]

Hi everybody!

I’ve been battling for over 3 days on how to get my footer to cover the full width of my blog but no success… Please help?!

I’m on wordpress.org

Thx!

A link would be helpful.

In general though, your blog is probably inside a wrapper or container which has a width applied.

If you need the footer to be wider than that wrapper you have to take the footer OUT of the wrapper.

Unless a width is specified on your footer it will default back to 100% wide.

Hi Paulie,

Yes that’s what I’m trying to figure out but I don’t know how to change it… :(

Do you have access to the PHP which generates the blog?

[nat87]

yes

Then the <footer> PHP segment/include needs to come after the <section class="container"> PHP segment instead of inside it.

Does that make sense?

I’m no expert on PHP so I’m working from limited knowledge here.

That’s what i did:

<!-- .container -->

<!-- .footer -->

But not working. I edit on my wordpress editor directly

Without sight of the actual PHP it’s going to be tough to help further.

Moving to PHP section.

BTW..

This

<!-- .footer -->

Is not the same as this

<footer class="footer">

<p>© 2013  - Le Cape Town Journal. All rights reserved.</p> 

</footer>

put in simple,

if you wish to have the footer as full width 100% of the html page body, you need to put the footer div

<footer>including everything here</footer>

exactly before

</body>

Thus, by default, the width will be 100% unless you set a width to the footer.

hope it helps
