Hmmm… The footer you have posted is from the OJS version 2.4.8-2, s. pkp-lib/footer.tpl at ojs-2_4_8-2 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub. Are you sure that your code is fully correct/clean i.e. totally equal with the OJS 3.0.2?
Hmmm…
What about other questions above?
Yes sorry…
What is in your footer input field: Journal Management > Setup 5 > 5.4 Journal Page Footer ?
What is in the header (‘compiled from’) of that cached article template: \cache\t_compile%%38^38D^38D7420B%%article.tpl.php? – where you find the content that is displayed on your page…
