How can I fix the issue with my Webflow site's footer floating above the bottom of the page on the third page, even though it has the same settings as the other pages?

TL;DR
  • Ensure the page content is tall enough or apply Flexbox with vertical direction and justify set to space between on the Body or wrapper, with min-height set to 100vh.
  • Confirm the footer isn't using absolute positioning, match the page structure to working pages, and check for conflicting styles or page-specific custom code.

Your Webflow site's footer floating above the bottom on one page typically means there isn't enough content to push it to the bottom or a layout issue is preventing normal stacking behavior.

1. Check Page Content Height

  • If the third page has less content than the viewport height, the footer may appear to float halfway up the screen.
  • Solution: Ensure the page content is tall enough, or use layout styling to push the footer to the bottom even with little content.

2. Use Flexbox on Body or Wrapper

  • Set the Body (or a page-level wrapper div) to use Flexbox layout.
  • Steps:
  • Select the Body or a main wrapper Div Block.
  • Set Display: FlexDirection: Vertical.
  • Justify: Space Between. This keeps the header at the top, footer at the bottom, and pushes main content in between.
  • Make sure the wrapper’s min-height is 100vh to fill the screen.
  • The footer should not have absolute or fixed positioning unless required for design.
  • If the footer is set to position: absolute, it will be removed from the normal document flow, causing float issues.
  • Set position to Auto (default) or Relative, so it flows correctly within the layout.

4. Compare Page Structure with Working Pages

  • Open the Navigator panel and verify that the structure (e.g., Wrapper > Content > Footer) is identical on the third page vs. other working pages.
  • Ensure all parent containers have correct height values, padding, and display settings.

5. Check for Overlapping Styles or Spacing

  • Examine the styles of the main content area—if there’s too much margin-bottom or not enough content, the footer won’t be pushed down.
  • Avoid negative margins or unintentionally collapsed sections that may affect layout.

6. Clear Overrides or Page-Level Custom Code

  • If the third page includes any specific custom code in its Page Settings, review that for potential layout-breaking code.
  • Remove or adjust anything affecting layout height, position, or structure (e.g., JavaScript modifying DOM elements).

Summary

The most likely cause of a floating footer is insufficient page content combined with a missing height or layout style on the third page. Apply Flexbox layout with 100vh min-height on the wrapper or Body to ensure the footer sticks to the bottom when content is minimal. Double-check footer positioning and avoid absolute layout unless necessary.
