I know this question was probably asked some hundred times, but sadly no answer that I found in here really helped me.
I tried these answers for example:
But I still have the problem that when my page content is to "small" and doesn't fill out the whole height of the body/page container the footer just floats somewhere above the end of the browser window.
This is the code for my footer:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.2/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-Smlep5jCw/wG7hdkwQ/Z5nLIefveQRIY9nfy6xoR1uRYBtpZgI6339F5dgvm/e9B" crossorigin="anonymous">
<footer class="d-flex justify-content-center">
<div class="d-flex justify-content-between col-md-8 col-md-offset-2 mb-3 mt-5">
<div class="align-left">
<a class="font-weight-bold small kf-blue kf-links" href="#">Link1</a> |
<a class="font-weight-bold small kf-blue kf-links" href="/">Link2</a> |
<a class="font-weight-bold small kf-blue kf-links" href="/">Link3</a>
</div>
<div class="align-right small">

I'm using Bootstrap 4.1 and Chrome, here's also a codepen to my site:
https://codepen.io/anon/pen/oMZVxq
Note: you have to use the sidebar view in codepen to actually see that the footer is not at the bottom, as the view size in codepen is so small that it looks correctly.
If you set a min-height on your content div, then the footer will always be pushed to the bottom, regardless if there is enough content to push it down on its own.
To make your footer stick to the bottom of the viewport, add classes d-flex , flex-column , and h-100 to the body tag. Also add class h-100 to <html> tag.
You can use built-in bootstrap class to achieve this.
What you need is the container to be a column flex container . class to use are : d-flex flex-column
To set the container to height:100% you can apply the class h-100
to html, body and the container or add to the container style height:100vh;
For the footer, a margin-top:auto
will do, the class to use is : mt-auto
;
example below to run in full page mode
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/4.5.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<html class="h-100">
<body class="h-100">
