[Resolved] Footer Widgets Missing on Frontpage

[Chris]

The footer widgets have gone missing on the front page of a single site using GP. The #footer-widgets div isn’t appearing in the source and only the front page is affected.

I’ve looked at the front page through Customise and it states “Your theme has 6 other widget areas, but this particular page doesn’t display them” and the footer widget areas are not listed when editing widgets on the front page only in Customise.

Note: The footer element (where the copyright sits) is displaying fine.

I’ve also tried disabling all plugins, but the #footer-widgets div still isn’t appearing, despite the four footer widget areas being populated. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi there,

Can you first make sure it’s not set to 0 in the metabox for that page?

If not any chance you can link us to the site? Thanks!

Hi Leo,

I can’t believe I spent an age looking for that and it was right under my nose. Footer Widgets metabox was toggled closed and dragged to a different place to normal so missed it. 😐

Thanks very much for you help.
