    Hi! It should be possible to remove the white space below your footer, by removing the bottom margin of your green footer group.

    When you go to Appearance > Editor (beta) and scroll to the bottom, the gap should be visible below your green footer group.

    Please select the group block of your footer, and in the “Dimensions” part of the block settings, you can remove the margin. The margin settings are located below the padding settings in “Dimensions”.

    The easiest way to do remove the margin is by dragging the “margin” slider to the right to increase the margin, and then back to the left to completely decrease/remove it.

    Here is the guide regarding the group block:

    Hi, thank you for your reply, it is appreciated! I have followed your instructions but unfortunately the little white space under the footer still exists. Also, having looked at the group block article, i couldn’t find a part which specifically guides on how to have a footer with no white space under it unless there is a certain part that precisely explains that, that I missed. Please see attached image showing the current existing white space. I’ve marked the area in the screenshot If you or anyone else i able to assist further, it would be appreciated.

    Hi there,

    The way that your theme has been created, there is a bit of padding at the bottom of every page that is hard-coded into the theme itself, and not controlled via a block setting.

    It is not possible to remove that on a free site, but you do have the option to upgrade your site so you can add CSS code to make a targeted change to remove that padding. To do that you can upgrade to the Premium plan, which includes the option to edit css:

    If cost is an issue you can instead purchase CSS editing as an add-on here: https://wordpress.com/add-ons/

    Once you upgrade, the following code will remove the whitespace:

    .wp-site-blocks {
    padding-bottom: 0;
}

    Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
