I’m sure these questions have been answered somewhere so maybe you could point me to the right threads.
HEADER: I want to remove the header text and log and just use a solid color. I see the logo type can be changed to ‘image’ or ‘text’ but I don’t see any way to disable it. I would also like to set the header height to a fixed size.
FOOTER: I want to set the footer to a fixed size, and I’d like it to also appear at the bottom of my screen even when the content height is not sufficient to push it down (like a ‘minimum height’ style).
Also, on my site (http://fix333.com) there is about 145px of space above my footer that I cannot remove.
Same thing with the footer, there is no BB setting for it but is possible via custom CSS. Check the CSS snippet below regarding how to set a height on your footer.
The extra space on the bottom is caused by your widgets. There are texts there which are invisible since their color is white. Header over to Appearance > Widgets and remove those widgets if you don’t need them.
