Footer is no longer at bottom of page

azism · Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2006 7:30 pm

All of a sudden today, the footer has moved from the bottom of the page to the bottom of the right column. It makes no difference what theme I use, the footer remains at the bottom of the right column. Any ideas???

Oh yes, I am using RavenNuke 7.6.

Interesting. As a guest/visitor, it looks fine. As a logged in user, it displays incorrectly. This definately has me scratching my head. Bang Head

This is normally caused by some kind of a block code problem. Normally an html block that is missing a closing statement. I suggest that you, as a logged in member, go to your admin and deactivate one block at a time, the ones only registered members can see, until you find the one causing the problem. Then either remove it or fix it. It will most likely be a left block since it seems like it happens on every single page you attempt to view on your site. Thanks and good luck!

You were right, and wrong. It was a block all right, but not one on the left. I had decided to activate the "User's Custom Box" block to let me more easily get to a couple sites. I placed it in the right column. This was such a non-obvious change, I forgot about it. Once I deactivated it, the footer started displaying properly.

So I started looking into this a bit further. Apparently there is a size limit in this block, so the last entry of one of my URLs was truncated creating a incomplete HTML statement. When typing it in, the complete statement was entered, but apparently not saved when I did the save. However, because there was no error message, I never checked it to see if it was working. I had assumed all was well. Yah, I know know what assume means. Embarassed

So, now this block will now be permanently deactivated. Which begs a new question. How can I remove the "Your Home" from Your Account? If it won't be activated, why have it there?

You can remove that in navbar.php but you want to just check this icon is still visible when NOT logged in as an admin first Wink

Thank you. I went into navbar.php and commented out that coding. Now all is fine. I really appreciate the help received here. Very Happy
