.col class set to 100% height (along with html, body, and .main-wrapper) and it works, but ...

page gets too long, footer is off the screen, and a scroll bar appears. Why so much white space under the small amount of content in my columns, how can I make the height of the columns respond to the amount of content contained inside?

Hi Laura, if you could provide the HTML and css would be easier to help you. To make the height of the column to respond to the amount of the content use :

Use your class or id, in the example I used a random class named .yourcolumn.

<style>
           .yourcolumn {height:auto;}

</style>
            ```

If you are trying to do a sticky footer keep in mind that you should have a wrapper in your content with min-height / height: 100% and also in your footer a absolute height.

If you can show some of your code, we will try to help you for sure :D
