Gantry framework + Gantry theme + latest WP
In the Appearance/Widgets page, the footer slide-down box does not open when clicked. All the other boxes open and will take widgets. Is the footer disabled somehow/where?
Thx!

First you'll want to open templatedetails.xml, we need to make 3 changes,
so find:
<position id="footer" name="Footer" max_positions="6">Footer</position>
and change it to :
<position id="footer-position" name="Footer" max_positions="6">Footer</position>
this code:
<fields name="footer" type="position" label="Footer Position">
and change it to
<fields name="footer-position" type="position" label="Footer Position">
next find this :
<field name="footer" type="alias" default="footer-a" label="Footer" show_label="false" position="left"/>
change to:
<field name="footer-position" type="alias" default="footer-a" label="Footer" show_label="false" position="left"/>
Then in your theme index.php
find:
$gantry->countModules('footer')
and change to : $gantry->countModules('footer-position')
And:
<?php echo $gantry->displayModules('footer','standard','standard'); ?>
to : <?php echo $gantry->displayModules('footer-position','standard','standard'); ?> - The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.

Works perfectly.
Also, I noticed this seems to be corrected on clean installs from the current theme + framework downloads (though it does not correct with updates on an old site for some reason). I just did a new site yesterday and it seems to work out of the box.

- Yes, this issue was corrected in a previous version of Gantry, it was created by a conflict in a Wordpress update some time ago, new sites should not experience this issue.

- I seem to be having this issue as well (grunge theme). I made the changes to the templatedetails.xml file but the other code is not found in index.php. Instead it is located in footer.php. After making the changes there I am able to add things to the footer widget area but it does not show up on the site. Yes, I have cleared the cache on the site and in my browser and done a full refresh on the page.
