Footer shows /* */ not sure why

One day, I noticed that my footer had disappeared and in its place was the following "block code" code:

/*
*/

I don't know when it happened or what caused it. I searched for all files that contained the word 'footer' in the title. I could not find any problems, but I'm no expert. Xoops is too complicated to edit source code.

The last thing I tried was installing the module, 'UserVisit 2.2', but then uninstalled it because it didn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

my system information is:

Xoops 2.4.4

MySQL

* Server: Localhost via UNIX socket
* Server version: 5.1.47-community-log
* Protocol version: 10


Web server

* cpaneld
* MySQL client version: 5.1.47
* PHP extension: mysql

phpMyAdmin

* Version information: 3.2.4

The Uservisit module had you replace your original footer.php file with one that came with Uservisit. Try replacing your ./footer.php file with the one that came with Xoops 2.4.4. Then update the system module and clear the cache files.

I removed the old footer.php file and uploaded the one from the 2.4.4 source code. I updated the system module, but did not clear cache because I do not have that enabled. The cache folder has no cache files, but not sure if that's what you meant about clearing the cache files.

Long story short, I still see the /* */ instead of the footer. The footer does appear as it should in the admin area.

It originates probably from one of your theme files.
Which theme are you using?
Try once with another theme, eg one of the standard themes as default or zetagenensis?

I'm using the default theme, but I changed to several different other ones and the footer was fine on them. However, the problem is the same on the zetagenesis theme as well.

The website ishttp://lpclarkwa.org

I'm not sure what to check on in the theme folders?

It is at the end in your /themes/default/theme.html file
/*
<!-- Start footer -->
<table cellspacing="0">
<tr id="footerbar">
    
</tr>
</table>
<!-- End footer -->
*/
<!--{xo-logger-output}-->

</body>
</html>
It seems an attempt to disable the footer, but as this is Smarty and not PHP code /* and */ have no effect.
