Hi @CaseyYangMSFT-4714
Neither SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure feature nor SharePoint Server Publishing feature are not activated.

Hi @EliasBalesamang-6774,

To use Navigation you have to activate SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure feature and SharePoint Server Publishing feature.

Hi @EliasBalesamang-6774,

You could find Header, Footer, Navigation in Settings > Change the look

And you could use the following PowerShell code to control the footer existence with a FooterEnabled property in the Web object.

 Connect-PnPOnline -Url "<SiteURL>" –Credentials (Get-Credential) 
 Set-PnPFooter -Enabled:$false

For Reference: Overview of the SharePoint Site Footer

I also have SharePoint 2019 on-premise but I only see themes option even after enabling publishing feature, I cannot see header, footer options. How did you get them in on-prem? Could you explain
