The final social icon in foot widget is positioned lower.

Hi Mark,

There’s custom CSS possibly being added by a third party plugin causing the issue.

See: https://share.getcloudapp.com/X6uE0q9q

Try #1 here to find out which: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/debugging-tips/

It would be best to find out which plugin is causing this and then reach out to their support for assistance with regards to this issue.

Otherwise, you would need a custom CSS like this to fix the issue:

ul.wp-block-social-links > .wp-block-social-link {
    margin-bottom: 0;
}

Here is an article with regards to adding CSS: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-css/#additional-css

Adding it through additional CSS should work.

However, as mentioned, it would be best to find out which plugin is causing this first and resolve it through there.

Hope this clarifies.

Hi Fernando,

I solved the problem using the css code you provided.

But I don’t have time right now to find which plugin is causing the problem.

Thank you for your help.

Hello Fernando,

I tested it with a brand new website. And enable only GP Premium, GenerateBlocks Pro and GenerateBlocks. Disable all other plugins.

But the problem still exists. I don’t think this is a problem with other plugins.

May be there is a bug with GenerateBlocks.

Sorry, you’re correct! This CSS is from GeneratePress. The CSS is meant to prevent extra unnecessary space being added below the last widget. It seems to affect WP Social Icons.

The solution for now would indeed be custom CSS to override this or to use GenerateBlocks Buttons Block instead of WP social Icons.

Thank you for testing. Will check with the team regarding this. 🙂
