Weird white section above footer?

Some of my pages have a white section above the footer.  I had started with a template and have since then made some changes.  I've inspected the elements, but am not sure how to fix this weird issue on each page.  Its not on all of them either?

Here is the site:

Which pages are you seeing that with, @Andrea_KVA? I checked the pages of your site linked in your navigation and didn't see a white space above the footer.

Thank you SO much for replying Adam!

So it depends on your screensize, which is why I'm so confused.  It's particularly bad on a mobile screen/device (Android is what I have and tested with, you won't see it if you "test" in the design page, only if you look on an actual phone).  It loads the page and fill's the mobile screen and fits the page 100%, which then adds this white box just above the footer.

It obviously has some sort of padding/fill, but I'm not sure where or how to correct it.  I'd like the footer to top align to the previous section, but how to code that is not something I know how to do and if it fills in color it would just expand the footer on the bottom half.

I used a theme to get things started, so not sure where that setting is or which div section.

THANK YOU so much for the hand, I'm super new to all this "magic" Smiley Happy

How tall is the image you are using as a background? I wonder if it's not tall enough to fill the whole vertical space in portrait mode, so you're seeing a default color fill the rest of the space. If you rotate your mobile device to landscape mode, does it fill the whole section vertically?

YES!  You are exactly correct, I didn't think to try that!  It doesn't have the white space at all when displayed horizontally.

Is their a way to set a default color in the code so if their is any gaps between images it fills in the dark blue color instead of white?  I just used a theme so my guess is some place that white was setup as the default since that was originally the primary background color Smiley Happy

Hmm... I'm looking at your screenshot again, and I just noticed that it's not actually showing the responsive design like it should. What device are you using and what browser?

I have an Android (Samsung S6..I know...old!) and using Chrome for the browser.

I wonder if it's something funky with just that browser or device. Is it the newest version of the Chrome app?

So it isn't limited to just my device.  I've had multiple people try and they all get the white space and depending on your mobile device it can be fairly large.

For example a new Samsung Note the block is massive

I'd like to figure out what Weebly theme I'm using and maybe try to update it?  Maybe this is the issue?  I went really generic to get something started because the popups said you could update later, but for the life of me I can't figure out how and all the posts I found for reviewing the theme are old (from 2016) and the editor looks nothing like that anymore Smiley Frustrated

Oh! I just realized what is probably breaking the mobile site - you are using forwarding with masking with your domain, which basically loads your site in a frameset using hosting somewhere else. If you visit the actual address of your site, https://kidvizable-llc.weeblysite.com, you'll see that it properly shows the mobile site.

So their is no way to forward and fix that?

I plan to update my plan in the future to a paid site, but for now I have it this way until we are off the ground financially.

Is their a way to change the default section loads to not be white, rather the darker color we have been using on our page?

You can still forward, though you'll need to do a more traditional forward where the domain just sends you to the Weebly subdomain, rather than loading it within a frameset.

Ok, thanks for that tidbit. I'll look up how to do that on the forums.  Appreciate it Adam, you have been very helpful.  I Heart Weebly Smiley Happy
