Footer widgets not displaying

[Yvonne]

I have 3 footer widgets.

Customise / Layout / Footer Widgets is set to 3

Pages are all set to Global Footer Widget Settings

When I customise, I can see the widgets but as soon as I come out of customisation they disappear. Am I missing a step?

[Yvonne]

UPDATE: I logged out of WordPress and viewed the site on 3 different browsers. They’re all showing 2 of the widgets. Could it be that it’s just taking some time to catch up with what I’ve changed?

[Yvonne]

UPDATE: The third widget has just appeared 🙂 It isn’t on 2 lines though like the way I typed it so I’ve just ticked the box next to Automatically add paragraphs. Should this make the text appear on 2 lines please?

[Yvonne]

It’s now on 2 lines but it isn’t white :/

Do you have any caching plugins installed?

A link to your website would be awesome just so I can see what’s going on.

I think I have WP supercache but I’ve logged out now because I’ve sent the email you requested so that you can take a look.

I’m seeing all three widgets lined up as they should be.

I would flush your cache in WP Super Cache and deactivate the plugin until you’re done developing – it can be super frustrating developing with a caching plugin activated.

They’re lined up now but the text in widget 3 isn’t white. Do you think this will fix itself if I temporarily disable the caching plugin?

[Tom]

Ah, try setting your footer widget colors to white.

Go to “Customize > Colors > Footer Widget Colors” and set “Text” to white 🙂

The text’s already set to white

[Tom]

Are you using a plugin called Easy Google Fonts? I believe it’s adding CSS that is conflicting with GP.

That plugin shouldn’t be necessary if you have the Typography add-on activated 🙂

That worked! Thanks again Tom 🙂
