   All of a sudden the box for the footer has shrunk and doesn't fit to the width of the boxed page.How do I fix this? This happened after I took the social icons off. Please take a look at http://50.56.69.145/wordpress/wp-admin/

   In footer.php replace:
   

   <!--end wrapper -->
   </div>

   with
   

   </div>
   <!--end wrapper -->
   </div>

   I think you deleted a div closing tag by mistake...

   This is the footer.php as it is right now.

   <?php global $k_option; ?>
   <div class="clearboth"></div>

   <!-- end center-->
   </div>
   <!--end wrapper-->
   </div>

   <div class="wrapper footer ie6fix" id='wrapper_footer_top'>
   <div class='overlay_top ie6fix'></div>
   <div class='center' id="footer_inside">

   <?php
   $columns = 1;
   foreach ($k_option['custom']['footer'] as $footer_widget) //iterates 3 times creating 3 footer widget areas
   {
   $last = "";
   if($columns == 3){$last = "last"; }

   echo '<div class="footerColumn '.$footer_widget.' '.$last.'">';
   if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('Footer - '.$footer_widget) ) :

   else : dummy_widget($columns); endif; // dummy widgets defined at the bottom of widgets.php

   echo '</div>';
   $columns++;
   }

   ?>

   <!--end footer_inside-->
   </div>
   </div>

   <div class="wrapper footer ie6fix" id='wrapper_footer_bottom'>
   <div id="footer_outside">
   <span class="copyright">
   © Copyright 2011'><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> -
   Design by Spaces For Living
   </span>

   top
   <!--end footer_outside-->
   </div>
   <!--end wrapper -->
   </div>
   <!--end wrapp_all -->
   </div>
   <?php wp_footer();
   if($k_option['general']['analytics'])
   echo $k_option['general']['analytics'];
   ?>
   </body>
   </html>

   Yeah - I think a div closing tag is missing somewhere. You can check your page with w3c validator - it will give you several html syntax errors. You can also compare your modified file with the original one by using a editor like notepad++ to find the differences...

   I returned the footer.php to the original version and it is still doing the same thing. Could there be some other reason this is happening?
   Thanks!

   It really looks like a div syntax error. The footer div is closed by another div tag (not the intended one) which causes the smaller size of the footer "bottom" area... Maybe you forgot a div closing tag in the footer text widgets?
