860 PointsI assigned my footer a blue background but when I do that, I notice there is a large white space on the left and right.
When I changed the background colour, I noticed that the footer doesn't stretch out across the entire page. There is a space between the left and right side and my footer is in the middle. How do I make it stretch out across the entire page?

Good luck!

Usually, If you can find the footer container css in your stylesheet, you can set the width to 100% and that should fix it.
