Hi

I am new to OctoberCMS and I am trying a simple project on localhost. I tried a basic bootstrap footer code and the class color is not showing. I attach the code here for reference. Please let me know if this has got to do with the default.htm? Thanks.

<footer class="page-footer font-small indigo">
  <!-- Footer Links -->
  <div class="container text-center text-md-left">
    <!-- Grid row -->
    <div class="row">

      <!-- Grid column -->

What does your layout markup look like? Did you add the bootstrap js/css files?

This is the default.htm file that shows the rel link to the mark-up. I did not change anything.

I checked the assets folder. The css, fonts, images, javascript and vendor folders are resided there as well. Nothing was changed too.

What theme is that? Bootstrap is not installed by default. You can either install it and reference it yourself, or use a theme that includes it.

I created a blank theme all over again and copied the bootstrap css and js files in the asset folder. In the default.htm, I call the js and css

</html>

But the footer class still won't display any color. I suspect that I am not calling 1 critical js.

I don't know, you're layout looks pretty confusing. Why don't you try something simpler? Start with what bootstrap suggests as a quick start and build from there?

@ddeschua53487 - You might want to try the Bootstrap starter kit theme for October. It has a pretty simple setup and would get you started right away - you can install the theme by visiting the URL below or by searching for the theme name in your Backend. There is a footer partial included with a simple example too.
