    Hello everyone–I am finding, at the bottom of one of my pages, (2) horizontal rules that I have not placed there. I have checked and rechecked, on the ‘Media’ page, both Visual and Text windows. There is nothing there, no horizontal rules at all. Yet there appear to be (2) at the bottom of this page. Only (1) rule appears at the bottoms of the other pages of this site, and it appears because I put it there. This is driving me crazy, and I would certainly appreciate any help. The site: genecastellano.net Please let me know if you have any info, or if i can provide you with any info. Many thanks!

    You are telling the article div to have a double line in the style.css on line 958

    .site-content article {
border-bottom: 4px double #ededed;
margin-bottom: 72px;
margin-bottom: 5.142857143rem;
padding-bottom: 24px;
padding-bottom: 1.714285714rem;
word-wrap: break-word;
-webkit-hyphens: auto;
-moz-hyphens: auto;
hyphens: auto;
}

    if you change border-bottom: 4px double #ededed; to border-bottom: 4px solid #ededed; I think you will be fine

    I did this immediately, actually changed it to 2 px solid, as 4px felt awfully heavy. Thank you for this quick fix. I do have a couple more questions. No matter how I change the margins or padding of both .site-content article and the footer, I still end up with a vast wasteland between the two. Any help would be appreciated, and PyrateNed, I can’t thank you enough for getting back to me so quickly.

    Well in that same code above you have margin-bottom: 72px; and padding-bottom: 1.714285714rem; and on line 74 of style.css you have margin-top: 1.714285714rem; change those to less and it will reduce the space between the content and the footer. Also on the media page this line 160 of style.css is added a lot of margin margin-bottom: 5.142857143rem;. Play around with all of those and get it how you want it.
