    Hi Guys,

    I have installed Twenty Eleven theme and all looks okay. The only concern is that at the bottom of the page, my footer looks quite big with some text inside it. Either the Padding needs to be reduced or I need to adjust the Footer height. Now I have been searching the internet for nights looking for the css style to change. It seems to vary from each theme but I cant see a footer css anywhere!! Can someone put me in the right direction in what css style to change for the footer in the twenty eleven theme? The link for the test site is at https://www.firealarmlondon.info

    thanks in advance

    starts here in twentyeleven, way down near the bottom

    It’s probably the padding applied to site-generator, the first number is top/bottom padding

    Also, did you edit your footer.php?

    You appear to be missing some closing tags in there like

    </body>
</html>

    Finally, I see you are editing twentyeleven directly, which is a huge no-no. All your hard work will be lost on a WP upgrade

    https://vudu.me/child for info about that, and how to remedy

    Do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress 3.2 theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues. Create a child theme for your changes. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

    Thanks Rev Voodoo

    I will check this now.

    Yes I did remove the html tag and will put these in.

    Hopefully once I have figured this out I will set up new theme using twenty eleven and as esmi says I will create the child theme.

    Thanks and will see if I can see this file!

    Did you refresh your browser cache (Ctrl + f5)

    Needs to be done to see css changes, the footer looks smaller to me….

    To further inspect your css, consider the firebug addon for firefox, which allows you to point and click at stuff to see what css is acting on it

    Hi Rev

    The changes I applied to the footer did work but it changed the text were the copyright line is etc. The padding I need to change is for the row above were the ‘Training Courses’ information is!

    Does that make sense!!!

    Sorry if im a bit vague

    Ah, that is handled by #supplementary
