Enabling custom block manager plugin also removes the footer. OJS 3.1.0.1

I am trying to add custom blocks by enabling the plugin custom block manager in OJS 3.1.0.1 but after enabling the custom blocks this hides the footer section also. After enabling both custom block and footer hides.

In error log I got the following errors on enabling custome block manager:-

Please help with this.

Hi @navmalik,

The “PHP Strict Standards” warnings in your error log are cosmetic and don’t indicate an actual error on your site, so I’m not sure why your footer is disappearing. Did you do any custom theming on your site?

Best,
