Footer at the bottom

Why is this still not added to Nicepage? This should be a simple select in the footer option.

Hi,

We plan to implement this option and we have added your request to our wishlist also.

I appreciate that Susanna. This was not my request originally - it was asked by DixQue posted on 09 December 2018.
Are you only adding it to the Wishlist now??? There seems to be a huge disconnect between the forums, the wants of your customers and what the developers feel like adding.

Support Team posted this 14 December 2018 Hi,

You ask people to vote, it has the highest votes out all others in the Wishlist?

Hi,

Unfortunately, this task is still in our wishlist. At this moment, our to-do list is based on polls that we have launched several times. Last time our community voted for new controls like Tabs, Table, Blog, which we implemented.

Hi Olivia,

For users to search this feature out on the forum and vote is a much bigger indicator that this is needed.

It was never listed in the poll btw - please show me on what poll it was on
Im guessing you mean people should have typed it in on other?

This type of response gets me upset, because you asked us to vote and then contradict yourself and say you are prioritising things on the poll when 34 people now have searched the forum because they need it.

An example of what your response should have been
"Thank you guys for adding feedback, we agree that this is needed and appreciate you helping us grow Nicepage - it's in the Wishlist and because its been 18 months and predates the poll of which it was not included - we have bumped it up the wishlist"

I agree with Webxsite: how difficult can it be to implement a function as desired that was voted for by so many users so many months ago. It gives a bad signal that you deal with it the way you do now. It gives the impression that voting has no use at all to lift NP to a higher level.

Any progress on this? I consider it a basic feature - almost 2 years and you never asked anyone in a poll if they thought this was urgent - so what more can we do to stress that this feature is way overdue

Hi.

I have been trying to add a sticky footer myself. Just spent around 8 hours on it today!!!!!!! I am using the sticky css element. I have added the following css in Site Settings > Css

footer {

position: sticky;
bottom: 0;

}

This does actually work, up to a point. The footer stays anchored to the bottom of the screen when the page content does not fill up the page. However if the page content is longer than the viewport the footer is not 'pushed down' as it should be. It stays stubbornly anchored to the bottom of the screen and the page content appears to scroll past underneath the footer.

I have also noticed that when I scroll down a long page, when I reach the bottom the footer moves a few pixels. This makes me wonder if the issue might be with the parent container of the <footer> section. I might have the css in wrong place. Perhaps 'sticky' is working correctly as I think it scrolls based on it's position within the parent container. Perhaps I have the css code in the wrong place and the footer content is scrolling within the footer section instead of with the body section.

Perhaps someone from the developers might be able to point me in the right direction as I feel I am very nearly there with this and can't launch my new web site till it works as desired.

Many thanks.

Hi Gangledore, as mentioned in earlier posts on this subject (may 2020) there is a workaround for this that works fine.
Just give a name in CSS Class in the footer container (e.g. 'footer-fixed') and put this code in it:
.footer-fixed {
position:fixed;
bottom:0;
width:100%;
}

However it would be much more decent if de NP devs would finally put some energy into adding this function to the software. So far it has been nearly TWO WHOLE YEARS that the folks at NP are ignoring my question and the numerous votes for this from other users. Appearently they take no satisfaction in developing this...

Good luck!

Hi DixQue.

Thanks for the info but I have already tried that. Yes the footer is fixed at the bottom of the screen, but it never scrolls as it should.

Using the 'sticky' element the footer should be fixed at the bottom if the content does not fill the page, but should be at the bottom of the content if it is longer than the screen and then scroll with the content till t reaches the bottom where it gets fixed again.

When using the fix you mention and also using the sticky element on my site, the footer is always fixed at the bottom of the screen and does not scroll when the content is longer than the page.

I found the attached image from CSS Tricks which clearly shows what should be happening.

I will take slight issue you with about the NP team. I understand this issue is frustrating. It has been bugging me for a while but has to come to a head on this new web site I have been creating. However I have raised several issues over the last year and all of them have been dealt with quickly and in fact one of them was a major bug which was fixed within 2 versions.

I think the problem with this 'feature' is that it isn't a bug and the developers are not really aware how crucial it is to us.

Ah, I see what you mean now. I will keep a closer look at this post from now to see if a solution is at hand soon. Might be helpful for me too...😏

HI. Any update on this? I have a sparkling new web site which is really being let down by the (often large) gap between the bottom of the content and the footer.

Can your developers at least provide a quick workaround which we could incorporate, perhaps some custom css which would tide us over until the feature is implemented properly?

Many thanks.

Hi, Im also interested. Im heaving the exact same issue.

Hope the developers will give a solution, given the fact that the nicepage website has somehow solved this issue.

For particual issues, please create separate private cases providing temporary access and projects.

What kind of answer is this? It is certainly the same OLD issue all along, what precisely do you mean by your comment?

Dick,

We need projects to investigate issues, so it is better to have keep projects privately.

Sorry, still don't understand your point... What do you mean by 'privately'?

Yeah I don't understand either - this is a feature request of which we have all taken time to fully explain ourselves multiple times.
I did not renew during Black Friday because I'm not going to pay money when you keep ignoring our Wishlist.

We I have asked for over 2 years:

• sticky footer option
• accordions / faq
• alternate logo option for when header overlap is on a dark background

How is this private? Please take the time to read the previous responses Allen (39 votes) - this type of response from you just further frustrates us and it becomes difficult to remain respectful, as it seems it was never added to any Wishlist.

Exactly: very frustrating indeed...
Every new update is loaded with new features, but my wish to simply add a sticky footer to this software appears to be not interesting enough to implement. And the only thing you guys can tell us that it is on a wishlist (that obviously is ignored for the past two years) and that voters for this item should keep 'projects privately'. Thanx for nothing...

Hi,

Unlike Sticky header, the sticky Footer feature is not as easy as it appears. There are a few possible options on how to implement it but it is not so easy to implement then directly in the editor. There are some difficulties with this feature. Therefore it is still on our wish list.
