Full Width Header and Footer Not Working

Hi there,
I just updated to the latest version of Newspaper on a relatively new wordpress install. For some reason I don’t see the full width header and footer on my site that I see on your default demo. The settings have all been reset to their defaults, but my footer doesn’t expand to the edges of the browser.

My goal was to have something similar to your Travel Guide demo, where there’s an image that spans the entire width of the header and footer. So I installed the Travel Guide demo settings (no content) but the footer and header were not full-width.

I noticed one thing while playing with the settings though. In the Footer Background settings, whenever I select Full Width for the size and try saving the settings, it hangs and doesn’t save the setting. That spinning gif just keeps spinning continuously and I’m resorted to refreshing the screen to get out of it. When I imported the settings for either demo, that Full Width option is selected, BUT, whenever I change a setting in Footer Background and try saving, it hangs as long as that Full Width option is selected.

Can someone please help me out on this? I’m not sure if this is a bug or if this is just on my end.

Thanks,
Taku

After playing around a little more, I was able to get a full width footer via import of the entire Travel Guide demo. But since the Full Width option is already selected in this import, I’m no longer able to save additional changes to the template. I noticed the Full Width and Full Height options cause the template to hang. I am not able to save any settings in the panel if either of those two options are selected (via import of a demo, or by selecting it).

I think this might be a bug in the template, which would need to be fixed since I would love to have a full width footer and header.

Thanks!
