Wordpress how to move the footer down - wordpress

I have a site on WordPress that is showing the footer at the end of the content instead at the bottom of the page (when there isn't enough content on the page in order to fill it).
This issues is showing either when I'm browsing the site with lower screen resolutions.
I have this problem also in all my other Wordpress websites.
How could I solve this without causing a mess on the CSS?

What you have is typical behavior. So I guess what you want is an overlay that's at a fixed position to the screen and does not scroll with the page. Is that correct?
Checkout this link it might be just what you want. Personally, I would find it to be a nuisance on a my laptop because all of your pages are larger than my screen and I presume that the footer would now cover up more of the page. But it's your website and it's your choice. Have fun with it.

unwanted horizontal scrollbar in Divi Theme

so I am making my first website in WP using Divi Theme and suddenly this horizontal scrollbar shows on 14' screen that hasn't been there before. When I view it on tablet or phone or 17' plus screens there is now scrollbar at all. I am not aware that I have done anything particular for it to be displayed. I tried to check width settings, but it doesn't seem to be the real issue. My website is https://vonofit.cz/en/home/ also as website screenshot I would really appreciate any advices as I am beginner to this. Many thanks anyone.

This is occurring because something is making the page container larger than the browser window, which makes the scroll bar appear so the user can scroll to see the excess space. I didn't identify what is causing the issue, but an easy fix would be to add a line of css to the stylesheet that will make the page overflow hidden. Something like this should work:
div#page-container {
overflow:hidden;
}

Why do my background images stay fixed when I have them set to scroll?

I'm using AccessPress theme with Elementor plugin on WordPress.
I would like to have images on my page scroll with the page (as they do on a normal Website), but they are staying fixed and giving the "parallax" effect.
Example: https://youmeitea.com/faq/
Furthermore, I notice that when I load the page, the image loads in one position, but then jumps to another position. I would like to be able to use the custom offset in Elementor to position the image so that I can control which bit of image is visible behind the page title (refer to the example page).
I am unsure if these are related, but I suspect they might be. I have tried inspecting and playing with things in Chrome as well as selected every possible setting in the Elementor page builder to no avail. Searching for someone with more knowledge to give me some advice.

Why does my site display differently on a mobile device when scrollbars are not present

When viewing my website from an iPhone or iPad my site displays just fine when scrollbars on present. However, when you access a page when scroll bars are not needed the display gets messed up. I have no idea how to resolve this issue. Any ideas?
For an example my website is www.surfboardswap.com. The homepage appears fine on a mobile device. But if you access www.surfboardswap.com/alerts the display does not fit on the page since scroll bars are not needed.
Thanks for the help!
It looks to me like both those links you provided render with scroll bars depending on the width of my browser screen. I think you're ultimate issue here is responsive design.
You have a width set on your .container css selector. This is breaking the responsiveness of you're site, because it's being forced to that width even on smaller screens. Try removing that!

Plone Portlets Misalligned

I have a Plone site that has a portlet displaying the navigation tree. This is supposed to be on the left side of the page, with the main page display area in the center (and to the right). Instead, this portlet gets pushed to the bottom of the page, and is stretched across the entire page width (So the "Manage portlets" link spans the whole width of the page, and is at the bottom just above the footer). I cannot figure out how or why it got like this, nor where the settings are to fix this..?
Sounds like a skinning issue. What theme are you using?
In Plone 4, you might start by looking at the main_template.pt of your theme under portal_skins. Look for <tal:block replace="structure provider:plone.leftcolumn"/>
There you can see any CSS that's applied to your leftcolumn portlets.
If you're not already using Firebug, you should try it out. It's pretty helpful in figuring out why your stuff is out of whack.

Fixed footer obscure firefox search match

I have a site with a fixed footer at the bottom of every page. The content area above the footer has a appropriate margin to ensure that content does not hide behind the footer when scrolling down.
However, when a simple text search if performed in the browser (firefox) the search term is usually hidden behind the footer as the page normally (without the footer that is) scrolls to just bring the search term into view.
How can I work around this issue?
I have one idea in mind: Make the content area of a fixed height (browser viewport height - footer height) and give it a scroll instead of the browser. Not the best solution but that is an option. What would be the drawbacks to this option?
I've noticed this before with one of my own projects but, is this minor inconvenience really important enough for you to alter the layout of your page? I would not suggest the fix you are considering simply because it is unnecessarily adding complexity to your code and the user experience will likely suffer (much more so than the problem you're describing).
I would just let it be.
