 hi i recently came across a problem (my fault) because i accidentally
 deleted wp_footer() out of the code before the ending </body> tag and one
 of my plugins did not function. the developer of the plugin (mihai from
 wpbruiser which rules btw) is the one that pointed this out to me.

 i feel like if i have set wp_debug to true in the config and our theme or
 setup is missing the function wp_footer() in the code the debug should
 alert the user about this. from my perspective, i had 0 errors and thought
 my code was solid. however, i am new to wordpress development but i am not
 new to web development...coming from asp/asp.net background. if the debug
 mode had reported this it seems it wouldve saved me a lot of
 time/communication with the plugin developer which had literally nothing
 to do with this issue. this isnt a bug report but something i think is
 very important to developers working in your platform as something as
 simple as having the wp_footer missing seems like it would throw some
 errors. something to consider.

 thanks,
 brandon

 Hey there,

 Thanks for your report and welcome to WordPress Trac!

 I'm closing this one as a duplicate of #14752 where we're already tracking
 this issue. Even if that ticket is closed, discussion can continue there.

 Also, I want to let you know that using such language (my code was…) is
 really inappropriate.
