Footer color changed

[Jeroen van Aerle]

Dear Bill,

A while a go I changed the colour of the footer using this custom CSS code:

#footer-wrap {
background-color: #fff;
}

Everything worked perfect until yesterday. Now the colour of the footer changed back to the background colour. I did install the Moonrise update yesterday but I can’t imagine this would impact the custom CSS. I spend hours trying to find a solution but I still haven’t found one. Can you see what’s going on?

Kind regards,

Jeroen

Jeroen,

I think for Moonrise, you may need something like this:

footer#site {
	background-color: #fff;
}

Any chance you could have edited the footer.php file in the theme? While we didn’t have a #footer-wrap there, I could see one being added if you needed to make the footer “full width” so to speak.

Take care,
Bill

He Bill,

I can’t remember adding anything to the footer.php but I do wish to have the footer-color extend to the full width. Can you tell me how I can do this?

Kind regards,
Jeroen

It sounds like the footer may have been changed just a bit to something like this:

(Copy the code from the support site to make sure you get the right bits.)

From there, your original CSS snippet should set the background to be white:

#footer-wrap {
	background-color: #fff;
}

You might want to move that footer.php file to a child theme. That way you can update in the future without risking losing the changes you’ve made. That’s the most “upgrade safe” way to go about it.

Take care,
Bill

Yeeeah that worked!

Thanks Bill for saving the day!

Kind regards,

Glad that did the trick for you.

Have a great week Jeroen 🙂
