  • It seems the footer comes back if I change the name from "footer.container" to "footer-container", any clue? – Ibrahim S Mar 4 at 3:44

I figured the issue, is basically I am using referenceContainer tag which is by definition a reference to an existing container, and since I have not created the container in the first place, it was not matching therefore it never been rendered.

I have figured that I must define the container in the page_layout, and in my case, it was page_layout/1column.xml

I hope this helps anyone who might have a similar issue.
