Have you gone to View > Header and Footer > Slide and made sure that you have
checked the footer fields that you want to have displayed on your slides?

Do you have them covered with an image or other object?

I'm betting the footer placeholder has been deleted.

Go to View/Master/Slide Master, then go to Format/Master Layout. Check the
option for "footer" and click OK to add the footer placeholder back to the
slide.

Does that only apply to Master slides? What if I want to use the normal slides. It never appeared to me at the normal slide, while the option at the insert tab is actually for normal slides

I am having the same issue - and when I click View --> Slide Master and click footer - the box WILL NOT stay checked... How can I fix that?
