How to move page footer above comments section?

[Bert Car]

Hello, I'm aware of how to customize the footer for a Confluence Space but is there a way to move the footer so it does not appear after the comments section and instead appears before the comments section?

Fiddling with the "Page Layouts" within Space Tools > Layouts > Content Layouts didn't seem to give me the clear ability to reorder the footer above the comments. Any help or suggestions appreciated!

Welcome to the Community!

I'm afraid the footer is considered to be part of the "confluence framework", not the content.  Content is basically the page, followed by the page comments (it also includes attachments, but they're shown in a different view, also surrounded by the "framework")

You can see this if you've ever tinkered with Confluence's "themes" - they can completely rework the framework, but they still can't break the content out of the central box with in the framework (they can move, or remove the footer to almost anywhere, but they can't split the content up)

On server, you do have access to the code, and you could try amending it so that the footer appears between body and comments, but I doubt it would be easy, and you would not be supported.
