Deleting empty footer area
Permalink Browser Info Environment
I'd like to find a way to delete a grey box on the footer. I want to keep the text on the very bottom of the site though. I tried to find the solution from footer.php, but I'm too newbie to manage this stuff on my own yet.

Hey, thanks for your answer. I'm using background image on my site, so the footer won't disappear when changing the color.
Hi there, ah, ok, yes that makes it a little trickier lol
I am away from my desk for a while I will be back this afternoon, all I have on me at the moment is my ipad and I can't access my files, so I can't tell you very accurately which code from footer.php you will need to remove, as soon as I am back in front of my computer I will look this up and gets straight back to you, sorry I can't be of more help right now. But I will make sure I do this for you ASAP on my return.
Regards

Hi there,
Sorry about the delay getting back to you, I think the best thing to do will be to delete the reference to the, background colour for the theme, basically making it invisible that way if you ever do want to use the footer areas they will still be ok.
If you FTP into your site files and go to the packages directory open up your theme files and look for "style.css" on line 308 you should see this line of code:
if you delete the line:
this will make the footer invisible, which should sort the issue for you.
If it does not disappear straight away, clear your cache and maybe also your browser cache.
let me know how you get on.

.c5wrap #footer_inner { /* customize_footer_background */background-color: #ddd; /* customize_footer_background */ margin-top: 10px; }

/* customize_footer_background */background-color: #ddd; /* customize_footer_background */
this will make the footer invisible, which should sort the issue for you.

Sorry there was a mistake in the above code, you should delete this code only:
Sorry about that.
/* customize_footer_background */background-color: #ddd; /* customize_footer_background */
Sorry about that.
Thanks a lot for your help, it worked perfectly! Now it would be great to move the text on the very bottom of footer to the bottom of the site. Is sticky footer the easiest way to do that?
Hi there, glad that worked for you, yes you probably are looking at some form of sticky footer solution, we have never been able to find one that performs acceptably, so if you do find an adequate solution please do let us know.
A more rough and ready solution on some of your pages with less content to push your footer down, as you still have some footer areas, just popping some empty vertical space in one of them will push your footer down.

You can lose the grey footer area without deleting anything from the code, there is an easier way.
If you go to "dashboard - themes - customise" and look for the option " footer background" you can change the background colour of the footer to match the background colour of your site, this way it disappears without having to remove any code.
