Question

Footer does not show up in Design View/Add a Library item greyed out, said to use Design View

So, when I go to add a Library Item - it is greyed out where I can not. Prior conversations said it has to be done in Design View. That worked for the other Library items... Until...

I wanted to make the Footer a Library item.

For me, in Design View (and the Design part of split view) the Footer doesn't show up. The Footer can only be seen in the code view (which... is then greyed out when I go to add it...).

Version 21.0

Thank you for any help you can provide 🙂

    Show us your code please.  It sounds like you're trying to add a library item to a template-driven child page.  Open the Template.dwt file instead of the child page.

    Nancy,
    Thank you for your response. As far as I know I'm not using a template. The Footer shows up in code view and in Real-time Preview. But since it won't show up in Design view, I'm unable to make it a Library Item (with the work-around as "Add Object to Library is greyed out for me until I go to Design View". I am not a professional so I appreciate any help 🙂
    Attached is the code for one of the pages (I removed the website content as I'm not sure where this will show up - but all the code is there.)
    I do not have a Template.dwt file anywhere.
    Thank you!!!

    I don't see any code.  Email attachments are not supported by this web forum.
