Quick recap: reported a footer that looked "crapy" and not full width. and noted it looked fine visually, and later confirmed the actual cause was bad code in theme.php. That pattern — visible layout looking OK while the template emits malformed markup or stray output — is a common source of footer-width problems. Below is a concise, practical checklist to find and prevent the same issue.

  • Inspect the DOM with browser devtools: select the footer and check computed width, parent widths, position, overflow and any absolute positioning or floats affecting it.
  • View the page source for missing or extra closing tags; an unclosed div earlier in the document often truncates container widths.
  • Search theme files for accidental output: stray whitespace before <?php, extra ?> endings, var_dump()/echo left in, or a UTF-8 BOM at the top of a PHP file.
  • Test with a known-good theme or a fresh copy of your template file to isolate whether the problem is template code or CSS.
  • Use version control and a staging site so fixes can be reverted and tested safely.

A tiny CSS safety rule that helps when floats are the culprit:

.footer {
  clear: both;
  width: 100%;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

Note: documenting the exact fix (as requested) helps future readers. When a layout issue comes down to template code, the quickest wins are validating structure, comparing against a clean template, and removing accidental output from the theme file.

Hello Jonas, I visited your site and your footer appeared to be the same width as the rest of your page, and it looked fine. As for the header, could I recommend a header with a red background and white text? I think this would contrast much better and help with the overall look. Good luck with your site!

I agree the footer looks fine fits in with the theme of the rest of the site and spans the width of the page.
