Footer not visible

Carlo · Post by **Carlo** » Tue Apr 07, 2026 8:29 am

Hi everyone. I'm finishing up this new site, but I can't figure out why I don't see the footer on the mobile version...where am I going wrong?

The site is on my test hosting at: https://www.mad4you.netsons.org/index.php
Thanks to anyone who can give me a clue !

The footer seems to be working. I have checked in multiple browsers.
What do I need to do to see the issue?

Confirmed on my iPhone - footer is visible.

You have to scroll to the bottom of the page to see it - are you expecting something else?

Carlo · Post by **Carlo** » Tue Apr 07, 2026 9:12 am

Hi Pablo. Watching the site on the desktop is working fine but from the smartphone I am unable to see the footer that is correctly there but if you scroll the page until the bottom end, the page is flickering and the footer is missed...
Thank you.

What type of smartphone and which mobile browser?

It is there in Firefox for Mobile on my iPhone. No flickering.

Hi AliGW, is an Android smartphone and using Google Chrome

Carlo · Post by **Carlo** » Tue Apr 07, 2026 9:34 am

@AliGW, also using Opera on the same phone is the same...

AliGW · Post by **AliGW** » Tue Apr 07, 2026 9:35 am

Sorry - I don't have an Android device, so I cannot assist.

There's no issue on my iPhone.

Carlo · Post by **Carlo** » Tue Apr 07, 2026 9:41 am

@AliGW, thank you anyway ! P.S.: I was an avid Serif user too, and I still use it for DTP purposes

AliGW · Post by **AliGW** » Tue Apr 07, 2026 9:43 am

I have moved on to the latest version of Affinity for DTP work now.

Post by **Pablo** » Tue Apr 07, 2026 9:46 am

I also do not have a Android phone.
However, this should not matter. This is standard HTML functionality.

But there is a very large space between the content and the footer, so maybe you will need to solve that first?

Carlo · Post by **Carlo** » Tue Apr 07, 2026 9:46 am

@AliGW: great !!! Their strong point was the user interface which was immediately understandable, using PagePlus since version 3 !!!

Carlo · Post by **Carlo** » Tue Apr 07, 2026 9:48 am

@Pablo: tried to reduce/increase the lenght of the page but the isse is still there....

Post by **Pablo** » Tue Apr 07, 2026 11:14 am

The length of the page is determined by the content, not by the page size, this only affects the workspace.

See also 'There is a large is empty space at the bottom or right side of my page.' in the FAQ:

I have an android and i see the issue you describe. Can you provide a demo project for us to look at?

Carlo · Post by **Carlo** » Tue Apr 07, 2026 12:20 pm

@Crispy68 pls find here the project here: https://www.mad4you.netsons.org/index.php
Thank you

I meant a copy of the project file itself (.wbs). Just viewing the page doesn't help.

Carlo · Post by **Carlo** » Tue Apr 07, 2026 7:40 pm

I will post it tomorrow. Thank you

Thank you.

That isn’t the project file. You need to upload the .wbs file to a sharing site and then post a link.

It's on the bottom of that website

I just loaded the project and WWB 21 told me it was created with a previous version - 2010. Surely not?

alan_sh · Post by **alan_sh** » Wed Apr 08, 2026 8:04 pm

In the 480 bp, there's a large gap between the last object and the footer. Could it be that you haven't scrolled down far enough?

Carlo · Post by **Carlo** » Thu Apr 09, 2026 2:31 pm

@Alan_sh: yes the website has been designed with WWB 20 (although I have purchased WWB21 recently). Yes, I have scrolled down but the screen is flickering and does not allow tò see the footer....Any ideas ? Thank you.

AliGW · Post by **AliGW** » Thu Apr 09, 2026 2:39 pm

Is this happening on multiple devices, or just one?

Carlo · Post by **Carlo** » Thu Apr 09, 2026 2:43 pm

@AliGW: from many of you watching the site, It seems that this issue doesnt affect Apple smartphone users...I have an Android phone and unfortunately I see the issue.

AliGW · Post by **AliGW** » Thu Apr 09, 2026 3:59 pm

But have you checked on other Android devices?

Carlo · Post by **Carlo** » Thu Apr 09, 2026 4:16 pm

@AliGW: actually not... Since Pablo told me that it is not matter of what device we use I dont think this is device related but of course I will check also this eventuality. Thank you.

AliGW · Post by **AliGW** » Thu Apr 09, 2026 4:39 pm

You keep mentioning flickering - that’s what makes me wonder.

Carlo · Post by **Carlo** » Thu Apr 09, 2026 5:18 pm

I will investigate. Thank you

Carlo · Post by **Carlo** » Fri Apr 10, 2026 9:49 am

@AliGW: made some tests this morning, with other users with Android smartphones (both OS version 14) using Chrome and also Opera the issue is srtill there.... Am considering to remove the shapes (on the 480 bp) and replacing it with the grids

Post by **Pablo** » Fri Apr 10, 2026 10:01 am

Unfortunately, I do not have Android device, so I cannot try this myself.

But what you can do if remove objects from the page one by one until you have found the one that is causing the issue.

Carlo · Post by **Carlo** » Fri Apr 10, 2026 10:18 am

@ Pablo: thanks for your suggestions. I will try...this website is driving me crazy !

Carlo · Post by **Carlo** » Wed Apr 15, 2026 12:14 pm

Hi Pablo. Following your suggestions, I have dismantled the site and redo, rearrange everything but the issue is still there and I am at a standstill.
Please see the project at:

https://www.mad4you.netsons.org/index.php

Thanks for any suggestion.

Post by **Pablo** » Wed Apr 15, 2026 12:38 pm

To be able to help you, I need a DEMO project (.wbs file) so I can see all your settings.
Also, please include a description how to reproduce this problem.

I do not need the complete project because that will only take more time to figure out what you have done.
Basically, I just need a small project with one page and object(s) that are relevant to your question.

Note that I cannot see what you have done based on the published page (HTML), because the software has thousands of options and millions of possible combinations.
So, there is no way to know which options you have used by looking at the HTML only.

For further details about how to share a project file, please see this FAQ:

Hope this helps...

I ran a few additional tests on your project, and I think the issue is related to a conflict with the on-scroll animations.

When I remove all of the on-scroll animations, the project behaves as expected. Since there are a large number of animations on the page, identifying the specific one causing the problem will likely take some time. The most effective way to isolate the issue is to disable them one by one until the problematic animation is found.

It is also possible that the page simply contains too many animations for the mobile browser to handle reliably. The software itself does not have any limitations on the number of animations you can add. However, beyond a certain point, browser performance may degrade or fail due to the overall complexity of the page.

Regarding the footer:
Because you are using a fixed layout, the design will only display correctly at the width it was created for. In this case, that width is 480 pixels. If the screen width is anything other than exactly 480 pixels, the footer will not appear full width because it has a fixed size.

This is expected behavior with a fixed layout. You will need to add more breakpoints to support different screen sizes.

I strongly recommend reviewing the layout mode tutorial to better understand the differences between fixed and flexible layouts. With a flexible layout, containers scale automatically to adapt to different screen sizes.
