I’m not familiar with the theme you’re using but you should be able to go to Appearances>Widgets and setup your footer widgets there in various columns.
Then try to distribute the content among the columns so that you don’t have everything in one column which might sort out the height issue.
Sorry I dont understand how to do this Tanya?
I also want to add a sentence on the top, centered in the footer and not sure how to do that- the footer isn’t mentioned in the CSS but here is the codes in the footer php.

Sorry I figured out how to add the sentence but what I want to do is bring up the logo closer to the top of the footer and all the txt under it as well.. and then reduce the size of the footer. Thank you.
