Footer floating behind widgets

A link to the site

https://troddenunderfoot.com/

Hi,

If you remove the line, do_action( 'my_custom_action' );, does the widgets go away?

If I remove the full line you suggested adding to the footer.php in the previous thread, then no the widgets do not disappear, the footer just returns to behind the widgets.

If you look at the site now, you will see the footer is moving below, but the widgets are behaving wrong.

Here is where I have placed the line in the theme footer code.

<?php

// Exit if accessed directly
if ( !defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
	exit;
}

Remove the line from where exactly do you mean? The footer.php, the post shortcode, or the plugin field?

Have fixed issue!
Moved the custom action line to top of footer.php, so it falls within the page container,
then removed shortcode from page content, to stop widgets duplicating.
Hopefully will stand up to testing.

Glad to hear you sorted it out!

Enjoy!
