Footer page has disappeared but footer content still visible
-
Hi all. I am seeing the strangest bug in the Wordpress backend. We have a site that is setup with pages that have footers. The footer is a single page that is specified as the footer page and automatically populates on each page. On the front end they work fine, but in the backend CMS, the footer page/template has literally disappeared. it no longer appears in the list of pages.
I have checked everything, to make sure it's not on some second page, not hidden at the bottom, not renamed to something else. It's just no longer there and I can't make sense of it. Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks @arminunruh I got to the bottom of it. User error. The site was using page overlays for all content pages, and we were positive that we had a footer page setup, but it was in fact built into the single home page layout and not as a seperate footer page. So it's all good, there is no bug relating to this.
