    My apologies if this has been asked before. I tried to use the search option, but I couldn’t find any topics that seemed to cover my problem, but I might have overlooked it. So I am sorry for that.

    Anyway, I am very confused because I am currently using two different versions of WordPress. I am maintaining a site for a company, which uses an older version of WordPress (not sure which), and then I am using wordpress locally for testing and development, which uses the newest version.

    I have been tasked with developing a new theme. So I have basically made a page with HTML, CSS and JS that I am now converting to a wordpress theme.
    Converting the page didn’t give me any troubles, and I quickly got familliar with the Custom Fields plugin, but this is where the confusion starts.

    On my local wordpress, I have deleted the default themes and activated the theme that I made, which I can view perfectly with no issues. But now I need to make it so that the company I work for can edit the different areas of the page, such as the text, images etc.
    All my content (except for header and footer) is located in a file called front-page.php, I made a new page and I started adding a Field Group to the first textbox.

    The problem is when I go to “Pages”.
    I created a new page that I called “Home”, and I remembered to go to Settings and set it up as a Static Page.
    I can see see the Field Groups that I made, and if I enter some text into them, they WILL show up on my coverted HTML page.
    But it looks nothing like what I am working with when I maintain the company’s current website.

    Instead of a large box where I can arrange the text and switch between “Visual” and “Text” for making inline styling, I am stuck with a tiny tiny box only allowing one like of text, and I basically have to copy-paste the entire code from the HTML with inline styling and everything to make it work.
    Sure, it works for me, but I cannot expect the company I am working for to do this by themselves when my internship ends.

    I want it to look like THIS

    What do I need to do?
