On my page I have a Layout Grid that has the Position "footer (floating)" but it appears at the top of my page. Sorry I can't you direct you to my site - it's local to my computer.

Is the rest of your content on the page also floating? You don't want to mix fixed position with floating content.

Thanks Crispy68. All the other layout grids are floating. The offending layout grid is a footer(floating). I have a header layout grid which was floating, which I changed to header (fixed). The result was the footer still jumped to the top, but was covered up by the header. Rats! Do the Semantic tag choices have any effect on this? Appreciate your help. Harry

It is difficult to help you without seeing what you have done. The software has thousands of options and millions of possible combinations.
If you need help, then please include a demo project so we can see all your settings.

rz (user on the forum) has a paid extension called Footer Enhancer that works very well and has options for positioning the footer.

Hello Pablo. Sorry it took me so long to get my problem code up on a server. The floating footer jumps to the top of the page, above the floating header. It's located at

I'm not 100% certain but I think you have some code that is incorrect or placed in the wrongs spot. I see code above the <html> tag in source. Have you added any code yourself? If so, delete this and see if it fixes the issue. If not, can you provide a copy of your project file (.wbs)?

Pablo and Crispy68. The problem is fixed. Chrispy68 - thanks for the tip. The page html was like nothing I'd seen before. I started a new page, putting back in one element at a time, starting with the floating (the one with my header) LayoutGrid followed by the footer (floating) LayoutGrid. Tested those and they worked properly. Then I continued to add one new element at a time, compile and test until I dropped in the last HTML block of PHP coding. And sure enough it worked perfectly, including some elements that weren't centering on the page properly the first time around.
I think the take-away for me is after I finish experimenting, adding/removing various elements, take the elements I liked and start a clean page rebuild putting things together in a sensible order.
Many thanks and Happy Holidays.

I'm going to try Harry's element-at-a-time approach!
