NetFirms Migrated And Now Footer Shows At Top AND Bottom! ARGH!

Nearly 2 weeks ago, NetFirms migrated my account successfully(or as they claimed). All but one of my sites migrated successfully.

My main business site did not.

At first, it displayed a white screen. After first call to support, NetFirms rep determined my theme was corrupt due to PHP parse error on line 71 of footer.php. This file is encoded and not easily fixed. After multiple calls and finally being given a zip archive of the working theme from the old server, I replaced the footer.php file on the new server and the theme works… almost.

At present, when the theme loads, it displays the footer content at both top and bottom of page. It even displays the footer at the top of a placeholder generated by the “Simple Coming Now…” plugin.

I have tried reloading the entire theme, renaming the theme and doing same, I have started picking through the theme files, but could really use some help.

I am assuming that there is something wrong with one of the files contained within the theme that is causing the footer.php file to be called first in addition to it’s regular spot.

Could someone point me to the file that would orchestrate the order in which files are called or assembled, please?

Thanks much.
