Magento – Missing “Header” & “Footer” tabs from Config->Design

If you are wanting to make changes to the header or footer sections in Magento (for example, change the copyright notice or change the logo) then the place to do this is in

Configuration->General->Design

and then under the “Header” and “Footer” tabs.  However if you are using a custom theme you might not have these options available to you.

To fix this you need to log into your ftp client and copy the file “system.xml from

app->code->core->Mage->Page->etc

and save a copy into

app->code->local->Mage->Page->etc

Now when you look back into Configuration->Design you should see a header and footer option.

This had me puzzled for a little while and I was wondering if it had just changed for Magento 1.8 but this simple fixed solved the problem.
