Greetings Drupal friends and community,

I am once again reaching out for guidance. I have looked everywhere and tried all possible solutions to fix this but none has worked. After a failed Drupal 7.22 - 7.26 update; I have reverted the site back to 7.22. However, when I did that, the themes did not come back normal. CSS has not been rendering correctly. I am able to get the site back to a usable state; however, I found that the footer section of our website does not display whenever an anonymous user is viewing the site or when a non-admin user is logged in. The footer displays when I'm logged in (administrator login), but disappears when I log out (anonymous user). The site is using OpenOmega and Delta themes. Our footer section is basically rendered from our Main Menu links.

At this point, I would like to request a lifeline if anyone here knows of any suggestion or guidance on what to check and where to look. The mystery is that it only happens on the school district's site but not on the elementary school sites. The site is at http://bps101.net. The footer is not visible, but when you go into the School menu and choose any school, the school site has the footer.

I have recently modified the .htaccess file in order to ensure that the login page will always use SSL/https. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the footer.

I appreciate any help and/or guidance from the community.

Thanks,

Orlando

You do not mention, perhaps because it too obvious, that you cleared caches?

Thanks for the reply John_B, yup, that was the first thing I've tried. This is just a mystery to me. is it possible that the failed update might have messed with the database content? is it feasible to go into the db and check for settings? i've checked drupal admin to verifiy permissions and nothing was out of place, I also went into the themes to check blocks and regions and all is good. Then I looked into context and nothing is out of place. However, I couldn't find documentation on how the primary menu builds the footer content/links. The footer is just a listing of what is in the primary menu for the site. Now, the strange thing is that the footer appears on the school sites (ie: ags.bps101.net) even when not logged in; but it won't on the district site (bps101.net). These sites were originally built to share the core but have their own css settings. So, the sites have the same framing/structure, but specific css for look and feel. I'm stumped because if district and schools use the same structure, then why would the footer show up in the schools and not on the district site.

The menu is quite likely to be in a block. The site have different themes, each theme has its own block settings. Check, if the menu is a block, that it is enabled in the blocks configuration page.
