Custom Liquid Makes Footer Option Disappear

Topic summary

A user working with Dawn theme 12.0.0 encountered an issue where adding a custom liquid section containing an iframe caused the footer option to disappear from the theme editor’s left panel.

Problem Details:

  • The custom liquid section includes an iframe with embedded content from an external source
  • Screenshots show the footer option present before adding the liquid section and missing afterward
  • The user needs both the custom liquid iframe and footer to coexist on the same page

Current Status:

  • Another participant requested the specific liquid code to diagnose the issue
  • The user shared the iframe code, which uses deprecated HTML (<center> tag) and has an unclosed iframe element
  • The malformed HTML (missing closing </iframe> tag) likely causes the theme editor to malfunction

Resolution Status: Ongoing - awaiting further troubleshooting guidance to fix the code syntax and restore the footer option.

I’m attempting to add an iframe code section to a page on my site, but when I add in the custom liquid section and save my changes, the option to add a footer completely disappears from the left panel — before and after screenshots attached. Why is this happening, and how can I have both the custom liquid and the footer on this page at the same time? I’m using Dawn theme 12.0.0

Hi @kobanion ,

Can you share the custom liquid code that you added?

It is possible that the code is wrong so that the footer disappeared.

Look forward to your response!

Best,
