I can't see your HTML markup, but did you wrap your header and main container inside a div with the class .wrap? Recheck your HTML markup to make sure you didn't accidently misplace a element's tag.

Simply add following CSS properties to your main footer class (.main-footer)

For example:

<div class="main-footer">
<!-- Your Footer content here -->
</div>

.my_footer{
 text-align: center; 
padding: 2em 0; 
background: #d9e4ea; 
padding:10px;
position: fixed;
bottom:0;
z-index:9999;
}

Go to your html and in the <div> that he had you create above the <header> add the class="wrap" and once you do that it'll connect with your css and you'll be able to see the change in your browser.

Make sure your css is .wrap{ min-height: 100vh; }
