    I'm currently creating a child theme with the Genesis framework (obviously) but I've become kind of stuck on the footer widget.

    I've added the theme widget areas code to the functions.php file and I feel that I've added the correct CSS rules in such a way so that nothing overlaps, but I can't seem to get the padding correct on the bottom of the footer widget wrap. The problem is that I need the padding to be a bit smaller, more like the padding at the top of the widget wrap section.

    If anyone can lend any advice or a suggestion, I'd be extremely grateful!

    Thanks!

    /* Footer Widgets
    -------------------------------------------------------------------*/
    .footer-widgets .wrap {
    	background-color: #333;
            border-top: 16px solid #1e1e1e;
            border-bottom: 50px solid #1e1e1e;
    	color: #999;
    	clear: both;

            padding-bottom: 0;
            width: 1200px;
    	}
    
    .footer-widgets .widgettitle {
            color: #fff;    
            }        
            
    .footer-widgets .widget {
            margin-bottom: 0.1px;    
            }        
    
    .footer-widgets-3 {
    	width: 30%;
    	margin: 5%;
            float: right;
    }
    
    .footer-widgets a {
    	color: #ccc;
    }
    
    .footer-widgets a:hover {
    	color: #fff;
    }
    
    .footer-widgets .widget-area {
    	float: left;
            padding-right: 5%;
            width: 30%;
    }
    
    .footer-widgets .widget-title {

    Hi,

    it is always tough trying to trouble shoot any code without a site to look at.

    Looking at your css code, I'd avoid using this:
    padding: 10px;
    padding-bottom: 0;

    Either write consistently in the shorthand or write them all out.
    padding: 10px 10px 0 10px;

    Thanks.

    I tried that, but it didn't seem to work. I would provide an image, but I'm building the theme locally and studiopress doesn't allow me to upload screengrabs.
