Footer Layout Not Displaying Properly on My WordPress Site

    Hi everyone,

    I’m facing an issue with my website https://chatgpt-modapk.com — the footer layout is not displaying properly. It either appears misaligned, overlapping with other sections, or not showing the widgets/content as designed in the theme customizer.

    I’ve already tried clearing cache, disabling plugins, and checking the footer settings in the customizer, but the issue still persists.

    Could anyone help me figure out what might be causing this and how to fix it?

    Thanks in advance!

    It sounds like the footer layout issue may be related to a conflict between your theme’s styling and either a recent update or custom code changes. Since you’ve already cleared the cache, disabled plugins, and reviewed the footer settings in the customizer, here are a few additional steps to try:

    1. Inspect with Developer Tools: Use your browser’s developer tools (right-click > Inspect) to check for any CSS errors or layout conflicts. Look for elements that might be pushing the footer out of alignment or hiding content.
    2. Revert Recent Changes: If the issue started after a theme or plugin update, consider rolling back to a previous version to see if the problem resolves.
    3. Check for Custom CSS/JS: If custom code has been added (via the customizer or a child theme), try temporarily removing it to rule out syntax or layout issues.
    4. Switch to a Default Theme: Temporarily switch to a default WordPress theme (like Twenty Twenty-Four) to determine if the problem is theme-specific.
    5. Use a Page Builder (if applicable): If you’re using a page builder, ensure that the footer is not being overridden by a custom layout or template.

    If none of these steps help, it may be useful to share a screenshot of the issue or any specific error messages you’re seeing in the browser console.

    Thanks for the helpful suggestions! I’m a beginner WordPress developer, so I’ll try each of these steps carefully. I’ll update here with what I find or if I need more guidance.

    Hey, I am glad to clarify the situation.

    I checked, and the site in question — https://chatgpt-modapk.com/ — isn’t hosted on WordPress.com. It’s a self-hosted WordPress.org site, currently using Hostinger for hosting. We only provide support for websites hosted on WordPress.com.

    You can read more about the difference here:
    https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

    Here you can confirm hosting details: https://wordpress.com/site-profiler/https://chatgpt-modapk.com

    For issues like theme layout or footer display on self-hosted sites, the best place to get help is the WordPress.org community forums:

    That said, if you ever consider switching, WordPress.com offers fully managed hosting, automatic updates, expert support, and a smooth, guided experience. We even offer free site migration and up to 50% off your first year of the Business plan. If that sounds interesting, you can request a migration here:

    Let me know if you’d like to explore that — happy to walk you through it.
