While enjoying making small adjustments in this nice and clean theme, I came acroos a little problem with the footer widget.

It is positioned a slight bit too low and too much to the right.

The site: http://www.fairview.edu.my

Ideal would be if I get the same spacing on left and right in the footer.

And that the footer would be a little closer to the bottom of the welcome page (or nicely close to the bottom of the sidebar.

I am not running a child theme… is that necessary to make this change?

Some advice would be appreciated very much.

Yeah, from visiting this forum I learned already that a child theme may be a very good option.

I guess I’m just postponing it until I really need it…

Maybe it’s a browser thing than, the footer widget being out of position. In Chrome and Safari on my Mac it is still out of position.

How would I resize and reposition the footer in a child theme? (or without)

Put this in the theme’s Custom CSS option:

#sidebar_bottom .sidebar-wrap {

margin: 10px 0 5px 15px;

}

Adjust the margins accordingly. It’s in this format:

margin: top right bottom left

Also, take my word and go implement the child theme. It’s a much better option, if you don’t want to be missing out on the theme’s updates.

Thanks! It works and makes me happy 🙂

And yes, I’ll look into the child theme (again) 🙂
