Why Is the Divi Footer Not Showing or Updating?
Sometimes the Divi footer might not show or update because of settings, cache, plugin conflicts, or incorrect assignments. Let’s go step by step.
Backup Your Website Before Proceeding
Before making any changes, take a complete backup of your website. This precaution ensures you can restore your site if anything goes wrong.
Check Theme Builder Settings
Go to Divi > Theme Builder.
Make sure your footer layout is assigned to “All Pages” or the correct pages. If it’s not assigned, it won’t show.
Clear Cache in Divi and Browser
- Go to Divi > Theme Options > Builder > Advanced
- Click Clear for Static CSS File Generation
- Also, clear your browser cache or use incognito mode.
Check Footer Assignment
- Make sure the footer template is saved and published.
- Double-check that no display conditions are preventing it from showing.
Disable Third-Party Plugins
Sometimes plugins can conflict with the footer.
- Deactivate all non-Divi plugins.
- Check if the footer works.
- Then, reactivate one by one to find the culprit.
Check for Theme or Plugin Conflicts
- Switch to a default theme (like Twenty Twenty-Four) and check the footer.
- If it shows, there might be a conflict in your Divi child theme or custom code.
Update WordPress, Divi, and Plugins
Make sure everything is updated:
- WordPress
- Divi Theme and Builder
- All Plugins
Outdated versions can cause bugs.
Use Safe Mode in Divi
Go to Divi > Support Center
Enable Safe Mode to temporarily disable third-party plugins and child theme. This helps you test safely.
Restore Default Footer
If custom footers aren’t working, try removing them and using the default Divi footer temporarily. Then rebuild your footer from scratch.

FAQs
Why is my Divi footer not showing on mobile devices?
Your Divi footer may not be visible on mobile if the section or module has mobile visibility turned off. Go to the footer section settings and check the Responsive options to ensure it’s enabled for phones and tablets.
How can I update the Divi footer globally across my website?
To update the Divi footer globally, go to Divi > Theme Builder, click Edit Global Footer, make your changes, and then click Save. This will apply the updated footer to all pages using the global layout.
Can caching plugins stop my Divi footer from updating?
Yes, caching plugins like WP Rocket or server-level caching can prevent footer updates from appearing. Clear all caches, including browser and plugin caches, after making changes to your Divi footer.
Is it safe to use Divi Safe Mode for troubleshooting footer issues?
Yes, Divi Safe Mode is a secure tool for diagnosing problems. It temporarily disables custom code and third-party plugins without affecting live users, helping you identify the cause of footer display issues safely.
