If you login to your site, put it into edit mode, turn on the developer tools, select the #trailer div with the developer tools and "turn off" the height: 1024px; line you should be able to edit your block. You are correct that the footer is sitting over the top of that block.

Hi,

I can't seem to find the developer's tools. I'm in edit mode. Where do I look?

Sorry to such a nube with this. Again, I'm trying to help out with a site I didn't build.

Thanks

Liz

The Developer Tools is something in your browser, not in Concrete5. If you are using Chrome you can hit F12 to open it.

Yup that allows me to edit the section. Thanks! However, in some browsers it is still very difficult to click on the links in that section.
I'm unable to edit the footer via the dashboard. Any thoughts on fixing this?

Do you have access to the site files via FTP?

Yes, though I was hoping not to have to go that route. I didn't design the theme, so trying to find where the footer is sized is not ideal. Will I have to re-size the footer? Other options in regards to browser compatibility? I'm concerned this will be an ongoing issue.

The issue is not with the footer at all, the issue is that the #trailer is set to a fixed height of 1024px and the content inside that div is taller than 1024 so it flows out the bottom which makes the footer sit over the top of it.

All you would need to do is edit the /themes/wearehere/assets/css/main.css on line 153 and comment out height: 1024px and that should fix it. Or if you feel the need to leave the fixed height in there, up it to 1083px which will contain all of the content that is currently in there.

Ah got it! Will try that. Thank you for your help.
