GeneratePress Footer is Different on the home page

Hi there,

I don’t believe this is a theme related issue and we have not had other reports on this before.

Can you disable all caching and all plugins to test first?

Hi!

BlueHost thought it was something with my theme. I had them clear cache on the shared server, and also I cleared cache on everything I have control over.

I just now deactivated all plugins and nothing made a change on the home page footer. It’s still happening. :^(

Are you using GP premium plugin or just the free theme?

Let me know ??

The free theme…

Edit the page and check the number of Footer widgets you have set in the Page Settings. Example: https://share.zight.com/9Zu4jA81

I have 4 footer widgets plus the the footer bar when I look though Customizer, and I see the footer widgets on other pages, but not on the home page. Maybe because I’m using the free version? Hmmm. Here’s a screenshot of editing the home page: https://achcd.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/EditHomePage.png. There’s no widget option like there are on other pages: https://achcd.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/NotHomePage.png

I’ve not seen a panel like this and it’s not a WP core functionality: https://www.screencast.com/t/TGLPxkn6oY4e

Does that panel disappear when you disable all plugins? Did you clear cache after disabling all plugins?

We are very certain that this is not a theme related issue so you will need to go through more debugging steps.

Hi!

Those widget pulldowns were from Content Aware Sidebars. I’ve disabled the plugin and cleared the cache and the home page is still not showing all the widgets on the footer.

I know yesterday when I disabled all the plugin (including bluehost) and cleared the cache, the footer was still not showing on the home page.

Here is a screen shot of what the page looks now without the content aware sidebars widget being active: https://achcd.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/NotHomePageNoContentAwareSidbars.png

I again disabled all the plugin and cleared the cache and the edit page right columns look the same as the link above, and here are how hte home page and not the home page look:

Can you confirm that the global setting in the customizer is 4? https://docs.generatepress.com/article/footer-widgets/#global-setting

And then Default is selected on the home page? https://docs.generatepress.com/article/footer-widgets/#change-the-number-of-footer-widgets-on-individual-pages-posts

Happy Monday!

Here are screenshots of:

Looking at the number of footer widgets in the customizer under layout: https://achcd.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/CustomizeFooter.png

Looking though the customizer the widgets. I include this because the name for footer widgets is “Footer Widget 1” https://achcd.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FooterWidget-1.png

After clicking on the footer widget one what I see (it’s just whatever is in widget 1: https://achcd.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FooterWidget.png

I don’t see where under layout in customizer where I can set “default”?

The default setting is in the layout metabox in the page editor:https://docs.generatepress.com/article/layout-metabox-overview/#where-is-it

Hello!

Editing the home page looks different; for one there is no options part, instead I chose preferences and looked at the three sections there: General, Blocks, and Panels. Panels is where layout resides.

Changing menus though clicking on the three dots:

The pop-up window that comes after clicking on preferences:

Thank you!

So do you see this option now? https://www.screencast.com/t/ucIaAxmYX

No I do not.

Could you share a screenshot of what shows on your Homepage’s Page settings?
