Footer not at the bottom of page when not enough content.

Hi, when page has very little content the footer is shown not at the bottom, there is a lot of blank space under it.
Screenshot for clarification:

Hello,

The default footer starts as soon as the content of the page ends, if there is little content on the page – all content and footer are placed on the screen at the same time (https://prnt.sc/26dlpu6). The footer is not something “glued” to the bottom of the screen, it can not be “fixed” there without breaking the layout of the site and it is impossible to completely fix it.

This can be partially corrected by setting the minimum height of the content wrapper (by using the below code), but there is no universal value and the height must be selected for the minimum possible content on your site.

body .main-page-wrapper {
	min-height: 70vh;
}

I’ve seen similar topic started years ago – https://xtemos.com/forums/topic/keep-footer-at-the-bottom/
I suppose this should be addressed in theme somehow. Are you sure this can’t be fixed fundamentally?

70vh is the right number, I used 72vh to address the case where system bar is hidden.
But this solution is not ideal – the page will be always a bit longer then needed as I have to adress such edge cases when there’s no system bar, no bookmarks bar on top etc., but in reality most users will have smaller browser window height and as a result unneeded scroll.

Also can you please advice me how I can see the screenshot provided via prnt.sc? A few months ago all links to that domain started to render incorrectly not showing the image. I tried opening it via incognito, vpn, etc. but nothing helped. The problem was reported by others on Themeforest support thread as well.

Hello,

We feel fully responsible for what happened and for any inconvenience, this may have caused you some problems, but unfortunately, it can’t be fixed.

Please, check the link below to the article that has some instructions for resolving the issue with the prnt.sc

Kind Regards

The Github issue is dated 2016 and related to Brave browser, while I am using Chrome.
I suppose the project is unsupported and something is misconfigured on their servers. I can’t open prnt.sc images with every possible browser/connection combination.

Hello,

Sorry for the inconvenience, next time I will send the screenshots using another service.

If you still have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’d be happy to talk through them with you.

Kind Regards
