In Footer 0 is showing after the footer section completion

Topic summary

A “0” character is appearing below the footer section on a Shopify store. Multiple users investigated the issue by examining the footer.liquid and theme.liquid files.

Root Cause Identified:
The “0” is being rendered by the Fordeer: Popup, Social Proof app, likely due to a misconfigured app block in the Theme Customizer or an app-side bug.

Proposed Solutions:

  • One user suggested adding CSS code to hide the element (body #fordeer-popup-main { display: none !important; }), which removes the “0” but also hides the entire Social Proof widget.
  • The recommended approach is to disable or remove the Fordeer app block from the Theme Customizer to see if the issue resolves.
  • If the problem persists, contact the Fordeer app developers directly for a proper fix.

Status: The issue remains unresolved with a proper solution. The CSS workaround is available but not ideal as it disables app functionality.
