I just updated one of my sites to 6.x-2.0-alpha2 and got my theme port working great except for one problem... The footer will not appear in the already existing newsletters. It's the same problem mentioned in #5 on #841966: include simplenews-newsletter-footer.tpl.php in hidden newsletters but I figured this belonged in a separate issue.

At first I just thought the footer wasn't working at all but I decided to create a new newsletter and for that newsletter everything worked as expected. So this is only a problem with newsletters that were created using the 1.x version of Simplenews.

I guess as a short term fix I could export all the users from the existing newsletters and then delete the old newsletters, recreate them and then mass subscribe everybody but obviously this is not the best solution.

Thanks

Is your newsletter hidden ? Would you consider changing this setting ?
In the meantime, don't hesitate to test the patch associated with #841966: include simplenews-newsletter-footer.tpl.php in hidden newsletters, as the primary raiser of that issue has not given any feedback about it yet.

It is not hidden. As I stated above this appears to be a problem when porting over from the older version of simplenews, not the newsletter setting. I haven't tested the patch but just looking over it I can't see how that would fix my problem. I also haven't yet tried to reproduce the problem on another site so it would be good if someone could confirm the problem or find out if it's just with my site.
