Symptoms
The footer appears in the middle of a page. Here is an example screenshot:
Causes
There is an invalid or malformed custom layout
There is invalid or malformed Wiki Markup. For example, there is an unbalanced {column} macro. See also CONFSERVER-17670 - Section macro produces invalid HTML if it does not contain the column macro. Example code:
{section} {column} {column} || Test || Test || | {loremipsum} | {loremipsum} | | {loremipsum} | {loremipsum} | | {loremipsum} | {loremipsum} | | {loremipsum} | {loremipsum} | | {loremipsum} | {loremipsum} | {column} {section}There are no {column} macros within a {section} macro and a table Markup is within the {section} macro. For example:
{section} || Test || Test || | {loremipsum} | {loremipsum} | | {loremipsum} | {loremipsum} | | {loremipsum} | {loremipsum} | | {loremipsum} | {loremipsum} | | {loremipsum} | {loremipsum} | {section}
Resolution
If the problem is happening site-wide, fix the custom layout. If the problem is happening on a specific page, fix the markup for that page.
