Remove footer

I’m using a Vantage Free theme (with child theme). I want to remove black footer, but I don’t know how …
I tried with changing STYLE.CSS where I wrote:
```
#colophon.site-footer {
	background: #D8D8D8 none repeat scroll 0% 0%;
}

.layout-full #colophon {
    margin-bottom: 0px;
    margin-top: 0px;
    padding-top: 0px;
    padding-bottom: 0px;
}
```
but it sometimes work, sometimes not (or just create footer smaller). The second problem is, that I use Polylang and this changing/removing footer works (when it works) only in Slovenian language, but it don’t work in English page. Why?

Anyone?

I tried also with simplified version of correction:
#colophon.site-footer {
background: #D8D8D8 none repeat scroll 0% 0%;
}

but it works only on front page …

I simply want to remove footer. Is there any way to do it?

Hi @tuncan

Thanks for reaching out.

All WordPress themes completely overwrite their own folder during theme updates. To keep updates safe it’s important to not make any edits via Appearance > Editor without using a child theme. For CSS, it’s easiest to use a Custom CSS plugin like:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/so-css/

The footer itself isn’t big. The body background color matches the footer background color. To change this look you have two choices:

1. Set a min-height for the content container to push the footer down:
```
/* Main Container */

#main {
	min-height: 500px;
}
```
Adjust as required.

or

2. Change the body background color so that it doesn’t match the footer background. That way you’ll see where the footer background ends:
```
/* Body */

body {
  background: #fcfcfc !important;
}
```
Insert the above CSS rules as required into the field at Appearance > Custom CSS which will be availble once you have a Custom CSS plugin running.

Hope that helps.

Thank you. I’m trying different solution with footer, so your answer will be interesting in my next project.
I will now open another post to keep forum clean.
