• Hello,
    For some reason when I try to use a maintenance plugin for my wordpress site I always get this error message when I activate the plugins, “Your theme does not call wp_footer() in the footer. You should not remove that because JavaScript files will not function.”

    How do I fix this? And can someone help me with this ASAP?

    Thanks!

    To confirm any theme-specific issue, try switching to the unedited default Theme (Twenty Sixteen, etc.) for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins). If you don’t have access to your admin area, use FTP , or your web-host’s cPanel or whatever file management application your host provides (no Dashboard access required). Navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and switch to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder by adding “-old” to the end of the folder name. Alternately, you can remove other themes except the default theme. That will force your site to use it.

    I just changed it back to the default theme and I still receive that error message.

    My website is http://www.onlineplayerhub.com. It’s a gaming website and it still gives me that error message. You can see it for yourself if you’d like.

    Try:
    – Flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches. Not just your browser, but any op cache or content network cache as well such as Cloudflare. That will solve many weird JavaScript issues.
    – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
    resetting the plugins folder by FTP.
