Problem with comments section - strange gap
8 replies · Started by cmw on June 15, 2019
Hi there,
Is there anyone that knows why there is a strange section between my discus comments widget (happens the same with WP default comments) and my footer? How could I remove it?
It is not on Elementor so it is quite strange.
Footer is created as a section and I tried to put negative margin on the top to cover that strange section in between but does not work.
I am starting to think it comes from GP Premium template ...
Any idea?
Appreciate it :)
Many thanks.
*** I updated the test URL ***
After 2 hours that worked:

Thanks anyway :)
Glad you found the solution
Hi David,
Well, I just updated the URL for my issue because it does not work. It was a quick fix but not a feasible solution as it only worked in very specific circumstances.
I just attach a photo where you can see how the comments section of GP Premium generates a space between the main body of my page and the comments section. I am not good programming so I can't guess where it comes from.
I am using Elementor, and wpDiscuz to improve the basic WP comments form.
Thanks for the help in advance :)
Cmw.
That's happening because you're using the "Separate Containers" option in Customize > Layout > Container.
If you'd like to continue using that option but remove the bottom spacing on pages, you can try this:
.page.separate-containers .site-main > * {
margin-bottom: 0;
}Hi Tom it's me again,
Amazing help. Thanks for the help !
As you can see in the attached URL for my site, that gap is fixed. I only now have again the problem of my comments section duplicated.
If I add the following code to general page CSS or page CSS I took from https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/removing-double-comment-boxes-gp-elementor/, I get no comments at all.
.comments-area {
display: none;
}
How can I do to load the comments from the Elementor shortcode (so I can put them where I want with the adjusted size and margins I want) and avoid the default comments to appear? Right now as you can see I have them duplicated.
Many many thanks !!
Long live to Generate Press ;)
Try this:
article + .comments-area {
display: none;
}Thanks Tom you are a genius !
Glad I could help :)
