How can I move my footer text to the bottom of my site and center it (FOR MOBILE SITE ONLY)

Topic summary

A Shopify store owner using the Origin theme needs to reposition and resize footer text on mobile devices only. The footer copyright text needs to be centered and made smaller.

Initial Solution Provided:

  • Add CSS to section-footer.css targeting screens under 749px
  • Adjust padding and font size for .footer__copyright and .copyright__content
  • This solution was accepted and worked

Follow-up Request:
The user now wants a sticky footer that scrolls with the page on mobile. Currently, when users scroll down, the footer remains fixed at its original position rather than staying at the bottom of the viewport.

Attempted Solutions:

  • Adding position: sticky to the footer - did not work
  • Alternative CSS adjusting footer padding - addresses original issue but not the sticky behavior

Current Status:
The centering and resizing issue is resolved, but the sticky/scrolling footer functionality remains unresolved. The user has provided a screenshot showing the footer circled in red, demonstrating how it doesn’t follow the scroll position on mobile.

@Rahul_dhiman This solution worked but I have a new question.

Is there a way to make make the footer content a sticky footer so that way when I scroll up or down the footer also moves in the same direction?

Go to online store ----> themes ----> actions ----> edit code ----> assets ----> section-footer.css
add this code at the end of the file and save.

@media screen and (max-width: 749px) {
.footer__copyright {
position: sticky !important;
}
}

Thanks

@Rahul_dhiman This didn’t work unfortunately.

Here is the code for step 3:

footer.footer {
    padding-inline: 5px !important;
}
}

Here is the result:

Please let me know if it works!

@DaisyVo I already have a solution to this issue but do you know how I can make the footer move up and down when I scroll on the Mobile Site? Right now It just stays in one place so if someone scrolls down, the footer text is no longer at the bottom. I’ve included a photo of what the mobile site looks like when someone scrolls all the way down on the mobile site. I’ve circled the footer in red.
