 * 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 ](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients),
   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](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](http://www.refreshyourcache.com/). Not just your browser,
   but any op cache or content network cache as well [such as Cloudflare](https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200169246-How-do-I-purge-my-cache-).
   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](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients).
