Footer not sticking to the bottom of the page

Quite a frustrating afternoon with evidence of other students using the 'wrap' div and applying the relevant 'min-height' and 'vh' properties to it as per instruction, specifically when I followed that exact instruction and did not get the same result :/ Even went as far as using another browser for wider support (opera -> chrome).

Here's my work, if anyone could show me what I did wrong, it would be much appreciated. :0

If you look at the styles in developer tools you'll see

min-height: calc(100vh-89px);

lined out due to an invalid property value. Adding spaces around the minus sign fixes this:

min-height: calc(100vh - 89px);

KRIS NIKOLAISEN I'm so glad you posted this, because I was copying what Guil does in the video and my footer wasn't sticking to the bottom. So I was scratching my head at this one. And wouldn't you know it? What it came down to for me was adding another space after the minus sign! Thanks!
