Hi @BadForm
Can you share with me the page url?
Topic summary
Website footer elements (menu, social icons, email subscription) were not clickable; they appeared as plain text. A screenshot was provided to illustrate the issue.
Several responders requested the store URL (and password, if applicable) to inspect the problem. The site details were shared, enabling investigation.
A concrete fix was proposed: in Shopify Admin, go to Online store > Themes > Actions > Edit code, open Assets > base.css, and add the rule: footer { z-index: 0 !important; }. Briefly, z-index controls layering (stacking order) of elements; adjusting it can resolve cases where an overlapping element blocks clicks.
After applying the CSS change, the footer links became clickable. The original poster confirmed the solution worked.
Outcome: Issue resolved with a CSS z-index adjustment; no remaining open questions or disagreements.
