To resolve the issue of the footer not displaying correctly in the Journal Theme, follow these troubleshooting steps:

1. Verify Footer Module Settings
   • Go to Journal > Theme Editor > Footer.
   • Ensure all footer sections are enabled and configured correctly.
   • Check if widgets (e.g., contact info, newsletter, links) are assigned to the footer.

1. Ensure the Footer is Enabled
   • Check the visibility settings for the footer:
     • Navigate to Journal > Layouts.
     • Ensure that the footer layout is enabled for all relevant pages (e.g., Home, Product, Category).

1. Check for Custom CSS/JS Issues
   • Custom code may accidentally hide or break the footer:
     • Go to Journal > Theme Editor > Custom CSS/JS.
     • Look for any code targeting #footer or .footer and causing display: none; or positioning issues.
   • Temporarily disable custom CSS/JS to see if the issue resolves.

1. Inspect Footer Widget Assignments
   • Navigate to Admin > Extensions > Extensions > Modules.
   • Ensure footer modules are assigned to the appropriate layout and position (e.g., Footer Top or Footer Bottom).

1. Clear Theme and Browser Cache
   • Go to Journal > Theme Editor > Cache.
   • Clear the cache and refresh the page.
   • Clear your browser cache to rule out local caching issues.

1. Check for Conflicting Extensions
   • Disable recently installed extensions or modules one by one to see if any are interfering with the footer.

1. Responsive Design Settings
   • If the footer is misaligned on mobile devices:
     • Go to Journal > Theme Editor > Footer > Responsive Options.
     • Adjust the column widths and alignment for different screen sizes.

1. Verify Footer Links and Content
   • Ensure the links and content in the footer are properly configured:
     • Go to Journal > Theme Editor > Footer.
     • Check each widget’s settings, including custom HTML blocks or menus, for broken code or missing elements.

1. Restore Default Footer Settings
   • If customizations are causing the issue:
     • Go to Journal > Theme Editor > Footer.
     • Restore default settings by resetting the footer section to the original configuration.

Check Error Logs

• • Navigate to Admin > System > Maintenance > Error Logs.
  • Look for any footer or theme layout errors that may indicate deeper issues.

To fix custom fonts not loading in the Journal Theme, follow these steps:

1. Verify Font File Format
   • Ensure your font file is in a supported format like .woff, .woff2, .ttf, or .otf.
   • Convert your font file  .woff if it’s not supported using online tools like Font Squirrel.
2. Upload Font Files Correctly
   • Go to Admin > Journal > Theme Editor > Fonts.
   • Upload your custom font file under the “Custom Fonts” section.
   • Assign it a name and ensure the file uploads without errors.
3. Assign Fonts to Elements
   • Navigate to Journal > Theme Editor > Typography.
   • Assign your custom font to specific elements like headings, body text, and buttons.
4. Update CSS
   • If the custom font doesn’t load, add a manual @font-face rule in the Custom CSS section:
     CSS

     Copy code

     @font-face {
     font-family: 'MyCustomFont';
     src: url('catalog/view/theme/yourtheme/fonts/mycustomfont.woff2') format('woff2'),
     url('catalog/view/theme/yourtheme/fonts/mycustomfont.woff') format('woff');
     font-weight: normal;
     font-style: normal;
     }

     body {
font-family: 'MyCustomFont', sans-serif;
}


5. Clear Cache
   • Clear the theme and SASS cache under Admin > Dashboard > Developer Settings.
   • Refresh your browser or use incognito mode to view changes.
6. Ensure HTTPS
   • If your site uses HTTPS, ensure your font files are also being served over HTTPS. Mixed content (HTTP and HTTPS) can cause font loading issues.
7. Check for Browser Console Errors
   • Open your browser’s developer console (F12) and look for errors related to fonts.
   • Fix incorrect paths or permissions issues based on the error messages.
