I'm losing it with this duplicate footer in my layout

My footer is being rendered twice at the bottom of the page and I cannot for the life of my figure out why

Hi @Uchuu. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- A duplicate footer in your Nuxt layout is most often caused by including the footer component in both your layout (e.g., app/layouts/default.vue) and your main app file (e.g., app.vue). In Nuxt, the layout wraps your pages, and app.vue wraps the entire application. If both contain a footer, it will be rendered twice. For example, if you have: app.vue

<template>
  <NuxtLayout>
    <NuxtPage />
  </NuxtLayout>
</template>

<template>
  <NuxtLayout>
    <NuxtPage />
  </NuxtLayout>
</template>

app/layouts/default.vue

<template>
  <div>
    <AppHeader />
    <slot />
    <AppFooter />
  </div>
</template>

<template>
  <div>
    <AppHeader />
    <slot />
    <AppFooter />
  </div>
</template>

This is the recommended structure. However, if you also add a footer in app.vue like this:

<template>
  <NuxtLayout>
    <NuxtPage />
  </NuxtLayout>
  <AppFooter /> <!-- This will cause a duplicate footer -->
</template>

<template>
  <NuxtLayout>
    <NuxtPage />
  </NuxtLayout>
  <AppFooter /> <!-- This will cause a duplicate footer -->
</template>

You will see two footers. Make sure the footer is only included in one place—preferably in your layout file if you want it on every page. Remove any duplicate <AppFooter /> from app.vue or your page components. For more on structuring layouts and app.vue, see the official docs: - Nuxt 4: app.vue and layouts - Nuxt 4: Views and Layouts If you follow this structure and still see a duplicate, check for accidental imports or usage of the footer component in your individual pages as well. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on your provided template:

<template>
  <UApp>
    <NuxtLayout>
      <Analytics mode="production"/>
      <NuxtPage/>
    </NuxtLayout>
  </UApp>
</template>

<template>
  <UApp>
    <NuxtLayout>
      <Analytics mode="production"/>
      <NuxtPage/>
    </NuxtLayout>
  </UApp>
</template>

There is no direct mention of <UApp> or <Analytics> in the official Nuxt documentation provided in the knowledge sources. However, regarding duplicate footers, the most common cause is including the footer component in both your layout and another global wrapper (such as app.vue or a custom wrapper like <UApp>). Key points from the knowledge sources: - The recommended structure is to use <NuxtLayout> in app.vue and place shared UI (like headers and footers) inside your layout file (e.g., app/layouts/default.vue). The layout wraps your page content via <slot /> and should be the only place for global elements like footers if you want them to appear once per page Nuxt 4: Layouts. - If you include a footer in both your layout and another wrapper (such as app.vue or a custom component like <UApp>), it will be rendered twice Nuxt 4: app.vue. What to check: - Ensure <AppFooter /> (or your footer component) is only present in one place—ideally in your layout file. - If <UApp> is a custom or third-party wrapper that also includes a footer internally, and you also include a footer in your layout, this will cause duplication. - Check the implementation of <UApp> and your layout file for any repeated inclusion of the footer. Summary:
The knowledge sources do not mention <UApp> or <Analytics>, so if <UApp> is adding a footer and your layout also adds one, that would explain the duplicate. Make sure the footer is only included in one place, preferably in your layout file Nuxt 4: Layouts. If you need more specific help, please provide the code for <UApp> and your layout file. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I'm sorry, but you haven't provided the code for your layout file yet—only your app.vue template. To help you diagnose the duplicate footer issue, I need to see the contents of your layout (for example, app/layouts/default.vue). Based on the knowledge sources, the most common cause of duplicate footers is including the footer component in both your layout and another global wrapper (like app.vue or a custom component such as <UApp>). Please share your layout code so I can review it and provide specific guidance, as recommended in the Nuxt documentation Layouts Guide. If your layout includes <AppFooter /> and another wrapper also includes it, that will result in duplication. If you provide your layout code, I can give you a more precise answer. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
