[Resolved] Footer suddenly appears on website

[Vera]

I have not done anything with my footer, but suddenly my main navigation menu appear at the bottom of every page on my site. The normal location for the menu is still there and so is my footer with the copyright in it. I checked all the widgets, Sidebar Aware settings, and everywhere else I can think of but I can’t find where it’s coming from. Can you tell me where else to check???

That’s strange, give this a shot:

remove_action( 'wp_footer', 'generate_slideout_navigation', 0 );
add_action( 'generate_after_footer', 'generate_slideout_navigation', 0 );

Let me know 🙂

Where would I add this?

I’m not at all a programmer. All I know is html and basic CSS.

It appears that the plugin NextGenGallery is causing it. When I deactivate it, the footer goes away. When I activate, it returns. It was the only new plugin aside from SimpleSSL that I tried recently.

Of course I do not expect you to debug. I am not even committed to using that plugin. I just mention it because it seems to have a significant number of users so *IF* it’s a compatibility issue, it may be helpful to know.

Tom’s code can be added using one of these methods:

NextGen seems to be quite problematic in our experience.

Maybe try Envira if that works for you?

I’m using the Snippets plugin. So I can use that whenever I have a snippet of PHP to run? I’m mainly using it for shortcodes and it works great.

I will skip Tom’s php for now since I’ve isolated NextGen as the culprit (it was my first somewhat serious incompatibility in 5 years).

Thank you for the Envira suggestion. I will take a look.

Yes 🙂
