    Hi
    All the footers on my page are set up, but none of them link to the page i want.
    At the bottom of the page – privacy policy/anti-spam policy/ contact us etc all show up but nothing happens when you click on them. The page is all done on HTML then i uploaded it to word press.
    You should be able to see the source code if you right click on the page.
    If you understand HTML
    PLEASE HELP!>?

    many thanks

    Forgot to say, all the links link to pages that are up and running fine, so its not the eventual link page thats the problem

    did you mean – these links don’t link at all?
    (at least in firefox, they don’t – because they are ‘covered’ bt he #content div)

    try in style.css in the Footer styles:

    #footer a {
    	color:#0041f6;
    	text-decoration:underline;
    position:relative;
    z-index:100;
    }

    in IE7 only the privacy link does link to 404

    hi
    didn’t understand that… sorry…
    yes my problem is when you click on the footer links nothing happens, so they’re not working. Not sure what your solution was though?
    J

    edit style.css of your theme, find this style (towards the end)

    #footer a {
    	color:#0041f6;
    	text-decoration:underline;
    }

    and add these two lines to it:

    position:relative;
    z-index:100;

    that should ‘lift’ the link above the #content.

    just tried it, afraid its not working though….
    any other ideas?

    alchymyth has find the problem ^^
    you div #footer is under your div #content

    to correct this, it’s sometimes a problem when you make your first websites

    as alchymyth said, the z-index is the solution
    I’ve only tutorials in my language [french]…so it will not help you
    you have to modify the z-index and the position (because a z-index works only on div which have a position specified) of at least two div (I think)
    try to find something about z-index (absolute and relative positionning => because sometimes, different positionning type will make this happend)

    BUT there is another solution, more easy :
    you have a padding 0 0 120 on your #content
    change this by a

    padding : 0 0 0;
    margin-bottom : 120px;

    look for this in your theme’s stylesheet style.css:

    #content {
    	width:100%;
    	padding:0 0 120px;
    	text-align:left;
    }

    and change it to this:

    #content {
    	width:100%;
    	margin:0 0 120px;
    	text-align:left;
    }

    as forunner said

    jonny12345,

    There seems to be come coding issues which have been tackled previously here. Give the following a shot though you will need to change the width of the #page style. Hopefully this will allow you to see what the problem is.

    style.css, line 14

    #page {
       margin: 0 auto -86px;
       min-height: 100%;
       /*position: relative; Delete this line */
       width: 891px;
       }

    hi thanks for all the help
    however i have tried all of this, but to no avail….
    any other ideas?

    I think you don’t modify the css of your theme :p

    because my solution works (test with firebug ok)

    line 36

    #content {
    margin-bottom:120px;
    text-align:left;
    width:100%;
    }

    Hi Guys,
    Thanks so much for the help, managed to get it working, really grateful.

    However, my poor website building knowledge is still letting me down…
    Now it all works fine in my html and css folder on my computer. However on the website it is still not working. I uploaded the new code via filezilla, however it doesnt seem to have updated the website…?
    Is re-uploading it via ftp the right thing to do or should i be doing something else…?
    J

    check if you have put the css / the html in the good folder, and if you’re not using absolute path [for your local computer…that you’ve forget to change] to get the css, or images, ect
