Sometimes, if you are using a different column layout for your cover page than on other pages, it can affect the material in the empty regions where you see the text “Elements in this region are drawn from the Cover Page”. In fact, what you are seeing on these pages may not be on the cover page at all.

The reason for this has to do with the columns themselves and how the default template is layered on top. If you picture a simple 2-column layout, it actually contains 4 regions. One is the header spanning the top of the two columns, one is the footer spanning the bottom, and the other two are the columns themselves. If you have a One-column layout, then you only have three of these regions, because the header and footer are still present, but there is only one column.

Now, if you have a single column layout on the cover page, and a two-column layout on the article page. The article page has one more of these regions than the cover page. In this situation, you may see what was configured to be the footer on the cover page appearing in an empty column on an inside page (like the article page). At the same time, something else entirely, or nothing at all appears in the footer region.

In order to work around this, you can customize the layout of the inside page template by placing elements in the empty regions and configure them to match how they appear on the cover page.
