#9421: Globals in footer.php
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------

Priority: high | Milestone: Unassigned
Component: Themes | Version: 2.7
Severity: major | Keywords: footer.php, variables, functions
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
For some reason, globals and typical WP functions do not seem to be
working in theme footer.php files.
Setting a variable to global seems to permit calling that variable
anywhere with exception of the footer.php file in which the variable is
lost. This also applies to the ''is_front_page()'' function which does not
work in the footer. (I have not tested other WP functions to know which
ones do and do not work in footer)
In the forums, one suggestion is that global variables need to be
redeclared as global and they will work. However, I am unaware of any way
to redeclare the WP functions so that they will also work in the footer.
Variables and functions should be available in the footer as well.
