 * I have followed the documentation of the theme on how to edit the header or footer
   in the customizer. It doesn’t seem to apply any changes I make here. I want to
   change the layout of both, apply the appropriate colours and fonts, and change
   the text in the footer.
 * Can anyone tell me how I can fix this so I can edit my header and footer?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcannot-edit-header-or-footer%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@lisasmale](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lisasmale/)
 * There might be a plugin conflict that is causing the issue to appear. Please 
   back up your site for security purposes and try to disable the plugins one by
   one and see if any of them causes this problem.
 * Please let us know if this worked.
