Flushing footer to bottom of the page, twitter bootstrap

Question

I am generally familiar with the technique of flushing a footer using css.

But I am having some trouble getting this approach to work for Twitter bootstrap, most likely due to the fact that Twitter bootstrap is responsive in nature. Using Twitter bootstrap I am not able to get the footer to flush to the bottom of the page using the approach described in the above blog post.

Answer 1

This is now included with Bootstrap 2.2.1.

Bootstrap 3.x

Use the navbar component and add .navbar-fixed-bottom class:

<div class="navbar navbar-fixed-bottom"></div> 

Bootstrap 4.x

<div class="navbar fixed-bottom"></div> 

Don't forget to add body { padding-bottom: 70px; } or otherwise the page content may be covered.
