Title: Footer problem Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # Footer problem * Resolved [foxyfrank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/foxyfrank/) * (@foxyfrank) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/footer-problem-39/) * I’m currently using Olsen Light which I like very much. * I am, however, experiencing a problem with the footer.
