Healing touch Pro footer issue

I am running WP 5.7 and have a slight aligment issue on the footer. Under “Latest News” in the foot there is like a 3 line blank gap above the headings. I have the foot set to display 3 blog posts. How do I get rid of the spaces?

I have this line in the theme footer area

[footerposts show=”3″]

I reverted back to to word press 5.5.3 maybe 5.7 messed it up or the new eliminator. It looks fine now.

But someday I will move up to wp 5.7 and would like to know how to fix the footer issue that occurs by updating.

Thanks!

I am not sure if this is the problems but maybe it will help you help me on the 5.7 issue.

Hi,

We did not find any footer aligment issues on your website

Kindly update in 5.7 version again. Then we will solve that issue.

Thanks for looking!
You don’t see any footer issues because I reverted back to the old version. But yes I can update again. Its also possible it was due to Eliminator plugin update. I will do they 1 at a time then check to see when it breaks the footers.

Ok I put the word press 5.7 back on for the weekend. The footer under latest news went down with a bunch of blank spaces above it. 5.5 its perfectly aligned. Take a look. I will revert back to 5.5 after the weekend

The reason it look ok when you went to the sight is I had already reverted back to wp5.5. If you look now over the weekend its on 5.7 and again the footer spacing is not correct. Would like to fix it if possible.
Thanks

Here is a better comparison of WP 5.7 vs 5.5.3 footer spacing.

[Robert Jones]

I found a fix for the line spacing issues with word press 5.7. It appears that it has affected many themes.

The best solution is to remove the extraneous P tags. However, if you want to adjust the behavior here, something like this should work:

body p:empty:before {
content: none;
}
You could use that in the Custom CSS settings, or in the theme, or what have you.

I added the code to the CSS of the healing touch theme and it seems to have fixed the footer spacing. The change was done on purpose by wordpress but I read that they might revert back in the next version due to the complaints.

Again if you would like to read a discussion on the issue refer to the link below.

Hi,

Kindly use this CSS to remove empty p tag from the footer.

.footercols4 p:empty {
    display: none;
}

Dave, Thats for the new code. Just a question.

Is your code:

.footercols4 p:empty {
display: none;
}

Better than the fix I am currently using?

body p:empty:before {
content: none;
}

Mine seems to work fine but maybe the footer specific one is more efficient don’t know.

Hi,

Both codes will work the same.

My code is only working for footer. And yours code is working for your whole website.

Dave,

Thanks!

This was like my second website and might want to buy more SKT themes but there are so many.
Which Theme would you say is the most modern and up to date with the latest wordpress and other modern themes of 2021?

I have a second .com site for working on new stuff that wont affect the other site.

Maybe I meant a Theme that had more built in theme options.

On this one I had to use quite a few plug ins to get it the way I wanted.

Hi Robert,

You can upgrade to all themes for just $69 from your my-account area.

New themes are listed on top serially here: https://www.sktthemes.org/themes/

So the first 100 are updated in 2021. And next 90 updated in December 2020.

Regards,
Shri
