I am looking to reduce the size the footer takes up on my webpage. I have googled this and found a number of suggestions to change the custom CSS, but none of these have worked.

```
#footer-area .footer-widget-area {
    padding: 1em 0 1em 0;
}
.footer-widget-area .widget {
    margin-bottom: 0;
}
```
To add or override CSS: use the “Additional CSS” option in the customizer. https://codex.wordpress.org/CSS#Custom_CSS_in_WordPress

Learn to use the Chrome Developer Tools or Firefox Developer Tools to help you see and test changes to your CSS.

Many thanks!

One additional question – how can I centre the text of the footer in the middle of the page? It defaults to the left hand side.

You have it in a div that’s set to 25% of the page. I recommend asking at https://wordpress.org/support/theme/sparkling#new-post so the theme’s developers and support community can help you with this.
