It seems it’s impossible to keep the footer at the bottom of the page if there isn’t enough content to fill the current resolution.

For example in my test blog this problem is visible here, whereas things are fine where more content is available like in this page.

I’ve searched the forum and it seems the only “suggestion” was to add more content, which is quite silly and random, especially considering the problem can easily be fixed with simple CSS like shown on this website (just the first link you get in Google looking for a solution).

Is anybody going to fix this?

Is nobody replying because nobody here knows how to fix this?
I noticed the same bug is in the Parabola theme, so unfortunately I have to assume this is the case.

A temporary fix improvement can be replacing in style.css:

#forbottom {
	clear: both;
	display: block;
	margin: 0px auto;
	padding: 20px 0;
	min-height: 400px;
}

with

#forbottom {
	clear: both;
	display: block;
	margin: 0px auto;
	padding: 20px 0;
	min-height: 600px;
}

but I still hope the designers will fix it properly in the next update.

Your request is similar to complaining a 4 wheel car is broken because it doesn’t have 6 wheels.

And I hope you realise your fix improvement only works on your particular screen size.

This makes no sense, really.

Having the footer floating in the middle of a page is not a missing feature, it’s a major flaw.
In my first post I also pointed out a website which describes a solution to this problem, I really can’t do more than this.

And I hope you realise your fix improvement only works on your particular screen size.

I do, do you? That’s why I used the word “temporary” and the line over the word “fix”.

I’m sorry you can’t take criticism very well, it’s a shame because this is a beautiful theme and it would be great to see it fixed.

Hi,

thanks for this “fix”. My site doesn’t have much information and that gap below footer was annoying.

My point exactly.

A 6-wheel car may be better in some cases, but that does not make the 4-wheel car broken and in need of a fix.

Coming in the “Bug” section and asking if anybody is going fix something that isn’t broken in the first place isn’t criticism. If you want the theme to behave in a way it wasn’t intended to behave or didn’t get to do yet there’s the custom CSS field, there’s child themes. You’re absolutely free to make these changes yourself (and complain to yourself when they don’t work as expected)

If you want something integrated in the theme you can drop by and say “hey, can the theme do this or that?” or “hey, how about the theme doing this or that? is it possible?”. And then we’ll see what we can do. We’re open to suggestions. But we don’t consider features that aren’t there (because we don’t want them or because we didn’t think of them yet) as problems that need fixing…
