I'm currently working on a website using Elementor. I tried integrating a Footer using a separate plugin (Elementor Footer&Header), however, the footer didn't stick to the bottom of the page if there was only little or no content.
As this seems to be a common issue, I solved the problem by adding the following code:
div.footer-width-fixer {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
}
Now, the footer sticks to the bottom of the page, however, there 2 other problems:
The footer overlaps with the content in the bottom of the page (see attached image)
The footer is sticky, although I didn't set it up to be so. I only want the footer to appear at the bottom of the page, not while the visitor is scrolling.
Any ideas how to solve this? Thank you!

Its tough to tell if the footer is actually overlapping another sentence (I only speak english so I cant tell if the sentence ends or read it at all). But it looks like its only overlapping the padding on the button and its just snug to the text content.
You could try to add either
padding-top: {desired pixel amount}px;
or
margin-top: {desired pixel amount}px;
to the footer and see if that does the trick.
As for the position sticky, If your familiar with the inspect element feature in google chrome; you can see what the class selector is that is applying the sticky to the element and then you should be able to write a bit of css to overwrite that fairly easily!
I have had the same problem a few times but I simply fix this by setting the height of the section to either "fit to screen" or the VH to 100 - the header height (If you use a transparent header). I hope this has helped you and if you have any questions don't mind asking!

I hope I can explain this properly. I have the home page. It has 4 widget areas on it. Each widget area has something in it (you'll see in the screen shot I'm including). Three widgets just text with crazy CSS going on and have a header w/a box around the header (including text). The 4th widget is irrelevant because it's just an image.
One widget's header has a box, radius, background color and it's left/right justified with the rest of the information inside the widget. Two other widgets - the header is not justified left and right 100% w/the entire widget area.
See the image as it'll make more sense.
here's a direct link to the image for a alrge view: http://postimage.org/image/ofdqc1sa7/
The wdiget section "New customers" - see how it's left/right justified. It stretches the entire width of the whole box. Now see the Existing and Why - how it's not stretched all the way across left and right. How can I get it to stretch all the way across? Iv'e been going over this soooo many times with change this/change that. My Firebug in Firefox is o fire, but I can't seem to get the correct CSS code to make this happen. Driving me crazy.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance for your reply...
Change this style
.cl-content {
margin: 8px;
}
To this
.cl-content {
margin: 0px;
}
However, this will cause some alignment problems with your columns. But, that class is what is causing your problem.
[ Edit ]
If you change the #text-17 and #text-18 widths to 670px, it should resolve your problem.
I would also change #LoginWithAjax to #LoginWithAjax { padding: 5px; }
Initialy I'd say there may be a padding issue. Is there a live link that I can firebug to troubleshoot further?
I've been troubleshooting this for a while now with no luck so I'm asking here in case someone is inclined to have a look. Thank you in advance.

I have a one page layout with a menu that scrolls the page to the correct location. Once the page scrolls past the top section a nav-menu drops down from the top edge of the window. The yellow bar is supposed to span the full width of the page but it is hidden in the margin areas and only displays in the "content" area.
I could really use another set of eyes if anyone is interested.
Thanks so much.
may not be the correct answer but may give some clue. I changed width to 100% and add text-align: center
The problem is with your #menu.pinned ul CSS selector's width: 910px attribute.
Remove it and it should display just fine.
I'm having a problem with this page.
The .blog-footer div needs to clear on the right to correct for the height of the pictures introducing clear:right; causes the huge gap to appear on the page in FF and IE.
I'm at a loss, I've tried numerous ideas to get around the problem and at this point I've been staring at it too long to see the problem clearly. Can anyone help me out.
Thanks in advance.
Try using positioning. Add these to get you started:
#page-body {position: relative; width: 740px; margin-left: 20px;}
#sidebar {position: absolute; right:-190px;}
There are some subtleties, like getting the right behaviour when the content as a whole is not long enough to push the footer down, but I find those easier to work out than floating problems. With a fixed height footer like yours, that is easy to fix using a bottom margin on the page body and some more absolute positioning for the footer. You have gobs and gobs of extra divs to play with.
The clear attribute works relative to floating elements. So you can use it to make sure the footer closes the div below the picture, but the fact that your sidebar is floating as well actually pushes things down to the bottom of the sidebar.
So, as #Nicholas Wilson proposes, one solution is to position your sidebar using means other than float. And your layout doesn't appear to really require float for the sidebar.
In another direction, I noticed that you are currently hardcoding the heights of your pictures. Since you know these heights, another possibility is to forget about the clear:right for blog-footer , and add a min-height attribute to the asset-body, as in (this is for the beer festival)
<div class="asset-body" style="min-height:184px;">
Certainly not elegant or DRY, but if you had to you could do this or have javascript do it.
[Update]
I actually compromised on this problem for now by foregoing the fixed footer design.
It seems that there is no problem with dynamic content moving the footer and resizing containers appropriately unless the footer is fixed to the browser bottom initially.
I hope others will eventually provide a great solution that encompasses the best of both worlds.
I spent all day trying to get the footer to move down the page to accommodate dynamically added (via ajax) content. I really need some pointers or links because I haven't found anything that helps.
Basically:
My site has some pages that begin with only a text box and a button so that the total height of the content area is only a few inches beneath the header area.
I don't have any problem getting the sticky footer working so that the footer appears at the bottom of the browser window even when there is very little content on screen.
That same css layout works fine for other pages that have content that extends beneath the browser window.
The catch:
The content has to be rendered and passed to the browser with the initial load.
The Problem:
Any content that is added to the page via AJAX after the initial load paints down the page correctly -- but the footer remains in its initial location.
Please tell me there is a fix for this.
I can't post the css until checking with my boss first - if possible - and if needed, I will later - but it's just a very basic version of the many sticky footer css solutions floating around the web.
Thanks.
Currently fixed similar situation with small jQuery and CSS, where parameter is footer div object (i.e. $("#mainfooter")):
function positionFooter(obj){
if ($("body").outerHeight(true) > $(window).height()) {
obj.css("position","relative");
} else {
obj.css("position","fixed");
obj.css("bottom","0px");
}
}
Bound this function to $(document).ready and $(window).resize.
If ajax call resizes body, this should be called also after content load.
It sounds like your footer is using display: fixed or similar. Try changing the container of your footer to:
bottom: 0;
display: block;
position: absolute;
That will ensure it appears right at the bottom of whatever container it sits within (I'm assuming the <body> tag). Your problem now becomes ensuring that it appears at the bottom of the screen rather than the bottom of your document, which starts of being much shorter. You could accomplish this in a couple of ways, but perhaps the easiest would be to set a minimum height on your AJAX content container:
min-height: 600px;
height: auto !important /* This is a hack to make IE6 fix itself to a set height */
height: 600px; /* IE6 will always follow whatever instruction appears last, even if !important is specified */
The other approach is since you're using a JavaScript library (I assume?) to grab the required content, perhaps you could also adjust the height of the AJAX content container or change the footer's CSS once that content has loaded?
Without any code it´s hard to tell what the problem might be.
However, I´m using a sticky footer as described here that works very well although I haven´t added ajax content in it. Browser resizing works just fine though.
Use include in PHP and call the footer after the dynamic content appears.
I'm not sure you are looking for this, but I am also facing the same problem before and same CSS, where my content overlaps on the footer when i call the ajax through jQuery method.
Now I found the solution: Just get the div height through jQuery and apply the height to the div where you are returning your results from ajax.
var obj = $("#viewcomm").height();
if($.browser.msie) {
$("#viewcomm").height(obj).css({cursor:"auto"});
}
where here viewcomm is div ID.
I solved same kind of problem with following code, where content is the id of div where php pages load and footer is the footer tag.
var footerAdjustId = setInterval(adjustFooter, 2000);
function adjustFooter(){
$("footer").css("marginTop", $("#content").height() - $(window).height());
clearInterval(footerAdjustId);
}
I'm new to this site and thought I might give it a shot. I've been having a problem for quite some time now but as my project evolved other problems was solved, but this has remained. And finding the right thing wasn't easy. Im not even sure what the term is for this kind of thing.
Anyway, I want a background image to the right and left of my main page. It need to be z-indexed below the actual page(incase people with low resolutions view the page) so that it doesn't extend over the main page and makes the content unreadable. It needs to go below the actual page if low resolutions are used.
I've been using the following code to do the work for me right now:
<img style="position: absolute; top: 120px; left: 10px; width: 121px; height: 443px; z-index: -1;" src="../admin/images/background_text.png">
Problem is that this isn't working to good with older versions of IE for example and in some cases not at all in others. As you can see it has a set position on my page(left side its higher up on the page) which is also something I want to achieve.
I hope I explained this good enough and cheers to this site. Seems like a great place to find solutions.
Cheers, Martin.
Try this:
<body style="background: url('../admin/images/background_text.png') 120px 10px;" > rest of the page...
this sets the background for the whole page (what it seems kind of like you're doing?) to the given image.
I would also size your image to the desired size if it isn't already, then you don't need to supply width and height (or worry about IE rendering the resize).
if you're really just putting it on the side, I might use a table or div setup and set the background on that (not knowing how your page is setup).
Im not sure if i understand your question or not.
Anyway. Dont set your z-index on the image. I would set position relative on the layers that needed to be at the top.
Remember that IE6 dont get the z-index. It figures out which comes first and then its the last one that is on top, even though it haves a lower z-index.
Here's an improved answer for you:
Give your "wrapper" div the background image as described before. Then extend your main table all the way to the right (or wrap it in another table or div with 100% width) and give that the right side background image. Then the images are still behind all the content and they both should behave as you want them to.
