Hi,

Apologies, I’m not sure I understand the issue. What is missing from your footer? I’m not sure why you’re showing me the default footer.php file?

[Jason Bobich]

Or do you mean the entire footer on your site isn’t showing at all? Maybe you could post a link to your site so I can see what you mean?

Yes the entire footer is not showing. Here is a link

Are you totally sure that footer.php file exists in arcadian2 theme directory? Looking at your site, it would suggest that either the file doesn’t exist in the proper location or that there’s something at top of the file causing a fatal error.

The only reason there could be a fatal error generated in the footer (assuming it’s intact and looks how you pasted above) is if you had some sort of malicious code that was specifically hooked to one of the actions in our footer.php from outside the file. To diagnose if that is what’s happening, you can turn on WP_DEBUG.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress#WP_DEBUG

If there is no fatal error printed on the bottom of the screen where the footer should be, after turning on WP_DEBUG, it suggests some kind of issue with footer.php not being present, or it being blocked or disabled somehow on your server.

Are you sure you’re not getting directories of these themes mixed up? Meaning arcadian vs arcadian2 vs whatever else?

Also, you mentioned that all this happenned because the original footer.php had something hacked into it? Is it possible your host has somehow disabled the footer.php file from being used as a previous safety measure?
