Raise footer on Authentic theme Home Page

[Gavin Brown]

I’m using Authentic theme.

There is quite a bit of space between the bottom of the image slider and the footer. I don’t want to use any widgets on the footer…I’d just like to eliminate the blank space between the bottom of the slider and the (default) footer.

I just got the theme and I’m still in the process of re-working the site from a previous theme, so the answer may be obvious. My CSS skills are…err…non-existent. Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Gavin,

Great question. You can change the spacing. Here’s what to do:

1. Go to the appearance section of your WordPress control panel and select edit to open up the theme editor.
2. From the list of files on your right, choose style.css.
3. Scroll down to the very bottom and paste this:

   
   .home-top { margin-bottom: 40px; }
   

4. Save your changes.

That should bring the footer closer to the slider on the home page. If you’d like to change the spacing a bit more, just change the 40 in the snippet above to the number of pixels you’d like to use and save again.

If you have any trouble/questions, just let me know.

Thank you for your business,
Bill Robbins

I’m going to get the word out about your themes based on the usefulness of the forums alone!
