Hi @PatrickWhitehouse Thank you for your report, I'm not able to reproduce following steps you described,
Please can you show your custom xml. file ?

This is my example

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_layout.xsd">
    <update handle="empty"/>
    <referenceContainer name="page.wrapper">
        <container name="header.container" as="header_container" label="Page Header Container"  htmlTag="header" htmlClass="page-header" before="main.content"/>
        <container name="page.top" as="page_top" label="After Page Header" after="header.container"/>

        <referenceContainer name="content"> <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="test" output="toHtml" template="homepage.phtml"/> </referenceContainer>

        <container name="footer-container" as="footer" before="before.body.end" label="Page Footer Container" htmlTag="footer" htmlClass="page-footer" />

@PatrickWhitehouse, I have just tried in vanilla Magento 2.2.5 with below code and working for me.

<body>
<referenceContainer name="footer" remove="true"/>
</body>

You've not read my issue. I have not removed it via XML nor am I wanting to remove it.

Update:

Seems to show once cache is flushed?

I presumed by this point 2. The footer or header has not been removed via XML.

Yes so I don't understand how your solution is relevant?
I do NOT want to remove them, they're not there when I make a cms page... That's my issue.

@PatrickWhitehouse Can you show content of your xml. file ? did you have a string with ->
<container name="footer-container" as="footer" before="before.body.end" label="Page Footer Container" htmlTag="footer" htmlClass="page-footer" />
or
<container name="header.container" as="header_container" label="Page Header Container" htmlTag="header" htmlClass="page-header" before="main.content"/>

They appear when the cache is flushed. In relation to your question, no.

@PatrickWhitehouse seems like this problem related to your custom code, With cache:flush same result, i have footer and header.

@PatrickWhitehouse Can you provide more detailed information to reproduce ? I'm try several time without string what i posted, but have no issue.

This might not be the issue but in my case the blank Page Layout is preset when I create a CMS page. You have to manually change the page layout.
