Apologies for the multiple messages. So I figured out to change the height of the black box in the footer, but the copyright right doesn’t move up with the change in setting (it stays in its original placement at the bottom of the website and is no longer visible .. or if I change the font color, but this doesn’t resolve my issue). Since the four footer widgets insert into the footer horizontally in columns, there is still a huge amount of space after it and before the copyright.
To clarify this issue and specifically, how do I remove the extra space between the copyright and the footer widgets?
