I'm trying to add a block to a template built from scratch. Using template-hints I can see that in the footer the following template is rendered

app/design/frontend/Merchant/merchant/Magento_Theme/templates/html/footer-cms.phtml

with some search I fount that the template is configured in app/design/frontend/Merchant/merchant/Magento_Theme/page_layout/1column.xml :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_layout.xsd">
    <!-- REMOVE MAGENTO HEADER & FOOTER -->
    <referenceContainer name="header.container" remove="true"/>
    <referenceContainer name="footer-container" remove="true"/>
    <referenceContainer name="page.top" remove="true" /> 
    <!-- INCLUDES TYPO3 HEADER & FOOTER -->
    <referenceContainer name="page.wrapper">
      <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="t3header" as="t3header"
        before="main.content"
        template="Magento_Theme::html/header-cms.phtml"/>
      <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="t3footer" as="t3footer"
        before="before.body.end"
        template="Magento_Theme::html/footer-cms.phtml"/>
    </referenceContainer>
</layout>

as I would like to add a newsletter subscription and terms checkbox in the footer, I am trying to do it in app/code/Myvendor/Newsletter/view/frontend/layout/1column.xml

but it doesn't show up even after clearing the cache and I can't figure out why

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_layout.xsd">
    <referenceContainer name="t3footer">
      <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="wf.newsletter2" as="wf.newsletter2"
        before="-"
        template="Myvendor_Newsletter::newsletterprivacy.phtml"/>
    </referenceContainer>
</layout>

I've also tried to put it in the shop/app/code/Myvendor/Newsletter/view/frontend/layout/default.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceBlock name="footer_links">
            <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="wf.newsletter" as="wf.newsletter"
            before="-"
            template="Myvendor_Newsletter::newsletterprivacy.phtml"/>
        </referenceBlock>
    </body>
</page>

but nothing happened

Can someone help please?

Make sure your theme is not virtual

Go to theme table into db, and check type of your theme

after change 1 to 0, flush cache and check it.

t3footer is a block:

<block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="t3footer" as="t3footer"
        before="before.body.end"
        template="Magento_Theme::html/footer-cms.phtml"/>

But you are using referenceContainer:

<referenceContainer name="t3footer">
  ...
</referenceContainer>

So you need to use referenceBlock

<referenceBlock name="t3footer">
  ...
</referenceBlock>

You will need to clear cache if you have it enabled.
