Enfold footer issue (maybe connected to WPML)

Hi there

This is in addition to https://kriesi.at/support/topic/footer-widgets-not-displayed-after-update/.

Problem description
One of my clients website uses Enfold with WPML and WooCommerce. After updating from Enfold 4.8.6.2 to a higher version (e.g. 4.8.7.1) the footer disappears for all languages. I made the footer using multilingual footer widgets with four columns each, so column 1 in German, column 2 in German etc. and also column 1 in French, column 2 in French etc.

I went through the changelog to see which changes have been made to Enfold when it comes to the footer. The following changes might cause the issue, but of course I am not sure about that (just an assumption to help you find the issue hopefully).

From Version 4.8.6.3
– added: action ‘ava_before_footer_output’ – fires after a possible curtain container div had been written
– added: action ‘ava_after_footer_output’ – fires before a possible curtain container container div will be written
– added: action ‘ava_after_footer’ – fires after footer closing div had been written
– added: filter ‘avf_show_curtains_media_option’ – show theme option to have more control about footer height to switch back to scrolling with page
– feature: sticky footer with curtain effect for streched layout (theme option “Footer” tab)

From Version 4.8.6.4
– fixed: Notice: Undefined variable: the_id in footer.php

Thanks a lot for your analysis and please let me know if I can help any further
