[Support request] Removing Footer & Copyright

[Cristina Morbidoni]

Hello. I’m restyling my site and changed the old theme into GP Premium. That’s what I want to reach: both pages and posts should have the header and the footer full width, while the body should be boxed 1200 px as I need to add some images as background. I actually have built 3 Elementor templates (header, single and footer), want to apply them to override those theme settings but whatever I do (copyright activated or deactivated, no copyright content, widgets numbers=0, disabled globally elements, checked all padding and margins, deactivated or not the E footer template…) a full width white stripe between the post content and the footer appears. How to delete it? I read all tutorials and support answers, and struggling since yesterday but no luck, I thought a simple click in the theme settings should be needed. Thanks
See here with the theme footer applied https://shoppone.it/angioletto/ricette/pane-pizza-e-impasti/pane-arabo-con-kebab and here with the Elementor footer template applied https://shoppone.it/angioletto/ricette/dolci-e-biscotti/crostata-crema-e-fragole

Hi there,

You can remove the site footer with a layout element:

Let me know if this helps 🙂

Hi. Thanks for you answer but I already tried it before and tried again now, but nothing changed. I’ve added a green background to show you better what happens. Please check.

I’ve checked both links again but don’t see any green background.

Isn’t this exactly how you wanted it? Just Elementor?

Sorry, probably a cache issue Try now https://shoppone.it/angioletto/ricette/dolci-e-biscotti/crostata-crema-e-fragole

Hi there,

Try the following : in the Customizer > Layout > Footer – set the Container and inner container to fullwidth and remove any padding.

[Cristina Morbidoni]

That’s my current settings but no luck. https://shoppone.it/angioletto/gp
Could I send a site profile for you?

[David]

Well the GP footer container is now full width.
You just need to edit your elementor footer template and set the inner container to full width.

My Elementor template has now a light blue background and is full-width, but still doesn’t display correctly unfortunately https://shoppone.it/angioletto/ricette/dolci-e-biscotti/crostata-crema-e-fragole

Try adding this CSS to remove the white space above the footer:

.elementor.post {
    margin-bottom: 0;
}

The white space below it is coming from the elementor template – either bottom margin or the grid gap needs removing.

[Cristina Morbidoni]

Yep! Adding it to the css works, but I’ll check better to delete it from the post Elementor template. Thank you so much, your help is very appreciate! 😉

[David]

You’re welcome.

The Margin Bottom actually comes from the Theme CSS – Elementor strap the post class to certain of there elements which causes the issue.
