WordPress requires tow functions to be called in themes. 

wp_head() needs to be called at the end of the header code - so would usually be found in the header.php file of a theme just before the 'head' tag is closed.

wp_footer() needs to be called - as it suggests - in the footer of the theme and is usually called just before the closing 'body' tag.

If in doubt look at the header and footer template files of any WordPress default/supplied theme.

Both calls are vital for plugins and are used extensively. Simple:Press will never work if one of these standard functions is not being called.

In the case of your site, either wp_footer() is not being called at all - or - it is being called but something is causing an error and stopping code from completing. If this is the case then you will find the cause in the php error log.

Thank you! You were correct, both custom footers were missing that call. I appreciate you finding the culprit for us. 🙂  Best, Michelle
