Problems with my theme – blog page won’t display, no footer for single.php

Here is a screenshot of what I see when I click my main blog link: https://fairmountpetservice.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/problem1.png

My theme has no issues on my new site. I wanted to check it on 1 or both of my other sites. I used All in 1 WP Migration (think that’s the name) to pull down my one site so I thought I would test it locally first. There are a few style problems with pages built with Elementor but otherwise, it looked good. I don’t where to begin…

Using my theme on my localhost with the download of my site, the single blog posts do not have a footer. It’s loading single.php but the footer isn’t there. I can’t remember but I may have built my footer with Elementor, but I’ve since switched to a regular footer with widgets. I’ll be posting a separate issue with my footer.

Then the blog page. I never knew I was supposed to create a blank page called Blog and set that to the posts page. What I did was set my Home page as the static home page and didn’t set anything for the blog page. On my live site, it’s fine – blog page is normal. But the image link above is what I see when I click on the link to the blank Blog page I created and set it to the posts page. All my template pages are loading: archive, category, page, author, front-page but not home.php.

So I uploaded my theme to a site that I will not be keeping. I created a blank Blog page, set it to the posts page but it did not display anything except for the header and footer.

Is there something that each theme has to do to clear out and records from a previously activated theme? I have no idea what to even ask. Why does every page have a footer except single.php? Why won’t home.php load?
