I created a footer using the make item into footer action. It seems to work perfectly. When I first formatted the item, I made the type too large. When I realized that, I went back to the master and made it smaller. When I look at the pages in page view within FW Pro, all the formatting in the footer on all the pages looks just the way it does in the master. But when I look at the site in the browser, the footers on every page look just like they did before the change.
I’ve done everything I can think of: I’ve reapplied the master, I published everything, I checked to make sure that I didn’t get some kind of double item for the footer. But no matter what I do, when I upload it looks wrong, that is, the way it looked before I changed the formatting.
If anyone can think of why this might be happening and what I might do to fix it, I’d be really grateful. I know I could just delete the footer from the master page and redo it. There’s not much text or formatting in it and it wouldn’t take any time at all. But I’d really like to understand what’s happening.
