Removing Comment Space

    Context: The page I am developing is purely informational — it is not intended to be interactive via the commenting section of the page. Thus, I have removed all ability to comment via the dashboard.

    Desired Action: I am seeking to remove the space between the bottom of the content and the top of the footer. Therefore, I have no need to retain the space between the content and the top of the footer. Currently, there is a line at the bottom of the content and another line at the top of the footer. I would really like to also remove the line below the content as well as the commenting space. I am sure this is a simple CSS fix, but it’s stumped me all afternoon.

    Background: I am running a WP TwentyTwelve child theme, self-hosted, currently in a development atmosphere using MAMP. Therefore, I cannot unfortunately share the page with the forum. However, I have taken a screen shot of the space I am trying to eliminate. Available here: http://imgur.com/TJ8iDYf

    Thanks for your help in advance!

    That margin is coming from the .site-content article CSS rule on line 958 of style.css (assuming the style is inherited from Twenty Twelve itself).

    To override it for all pages:

    .page .site-content article {
    margin-bottom: 0px;
    border-bottom: none /* if you want to remove the double-ruled line */
}

    If instead of overriding on all pages, you only want to override on a specific page template, named template-foobar.php:

    .page-template-template-foobar-php .site-content article {
    margin-bottom: 0px;
    border-bottom: none /* if you want to remove the double-ruled line */
}

    That CSS class construct is:

    .page-template-{filename-ext}

    Note also that there is some top margin on footer[role="contentinfo"], that you may want to override similarly.
