TOPIC: How to move HIP to new laptop?

BINGO!  ;D
I went in to the Company Info and went through each section and hit "delete".  There must have been a "space" in one of the sections 'cause when I got done my footer works just fine!  Thanks for the inadvertent tip!

Hah glad you got it resolved! You'd be amazed by the number of issues related to someone falling asleep on the keyboard and holding the space bar down for awhile or their cat or kid plays with the keyboard lol.
