Possible missing call to footer?

  • I’ve been carrying out updates to 4 websites and have just noticed this message when logging back into one of them

    Your active theme might be missing the call to <?php wp_footer(); ?>
    Always have it just before the closing tag of your theme, or you will break many plugins. See www.remarpro.com.

    As I’ve only added / deleted some plugins rather than worked directly on the CSS etc I wondered what might have caused it.

    I’ve made similar changes across all 4 sites but only this one shows this particular possible error message

    Have you ever seen similar?

  • Hello,

    We don’t have this issue on theme. Are you using a child theme and edited the footer.php file?

    Hi Amit,

    I’ve investigated further and have some additional information that might narrow down what’s causing it.

    Firstly, yes, all are running child themes.

    Secondly, I’ve recently installed the plugin “lazy load for videos” and it’s when I go to its options page via settings that I see that message.

    I thought it appeared across all pages, but is only when I look at Lazy load for windows (it reduces the size of the page when using youtube videos)

    … and yes, it does present that message across all four websites, so it might be the plugin is either causing a problem or identifying something that it *thinks* is a problem.

    All of the have the same comment at the top of the Lazy Load for Videos tab

    Have you noticed anything similar before?

    From what I can tell the plugins doing it’s job, since when I check each website via https://gtmetrix.com they are all much quicker than without it.

    Weird?

    No, I didn’t see this issue before. Can you try to disable that plugin and check it works or not properly?
