So I have page named "Footer" where all the info is stored for the footer, also I have category.php which is a template I use for custom taxonomy I made for custom post type I made. Query that outputs data for footer works on all other pages just not on the pages for custom taxonomies. I tried multiple things but seems like something is preventing footer query to run on the category.php template for some reason. Here's the code
footer.php
<?php$args = array('page_id' => 21);$footerQuery = new WP_Query($args);if ($footerQuery->have_posts()) { // Loop through the posts (in this case, just one) while ($footerQuery->have_posts()) { $footerQuery->the_post();?><footer class=""><div class="container mx-auto"><div class="footerGrid grid lg:grid-cols-3 gap-4 py-10 mx-10"><!-- Left side --><div class="col-span-2"><div class="logoWrapper"><a href="<?php echo site_url(); ?>"><?php $custom_logo_id = get_theme_mod( 'custom_logo' ); $logo = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $custom_logo_id , 'logo-size' ); if ( has_custom_logo() ) { echo '<img class="logo" src="' . esc_url( $logo[0] ) .
