Footer space too big and text in wrong place

Find which class or id is affecting the footer, reduce the margin or border and add this

text-align: center;

Do you have a link?

if there’s anything I can do

you can post a link to your site to enable help with troubleshooting.

and you can start getting familiar with using a browser inspection tool to find out where the formatting of the footer elements comes from.

yes sorry I was meaning to edit the original post my website is https://www.wisewonky.com/wordpress

by browser inspection tool do you mean like firebug?
Will all the spacing/styling rules for the website be in style.css?

browser inspection tool

yes – firebug or the ‘right click’ – ‘inspect element’ feature of some of the other modern browsers; or my favorite tool: Firefox’ web developer add-on

Will all the spacing/styling rules for the website be in style.css?

probably; but there are a few other stylesheets called in your site, and hopefully the inspection tool should point out where the formatting comes from.

i think it comes from the style.css and i think the padding is a general padding for the website, something to so with the font size i think, is there a property i can add to the footer area only? it is the footer 3 section in widgets i want to change, but i’m not sure if adding properties is the way to change it.
