Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.

I did. But those require inserting code, which is not something I’m very knowledgeable about.

Thanks. Hesitant might be an understatement. I don’t really know anything about the coding side of WordPress, so I was hoping there was an easy plugin or block-based solution.

Thanks… I tried the plugin but it seems a little advanced for my admittedly limited skill level. I was able to add the field I want to the edit screen but can’t figure out how to make the input for that field show up in the finished post.

So basically instead of it being a theme that provides a framework that I can work with, I basically have to figure out how to create everything myself… in a theme that doesn’t seem to let you actually make any changes?

I’ve already deleted it and gone back to my old theme so I can’t share any screenshots. But it added a giant header to the top of my page that said something about it being a blog about philosophy and a garish green button to the bottom of my page and I was unable to get rid of them.

It removed the menu I had on the previous version of my site and added a list of created pages instead that I wasn’t able to edit or change at all.

It’s not obvious how to make changes/edits. You basically have to make the site live before you can see the Customizer which kind of defeats the purpose of being able to see how changes will look before you implement them.

When I did finally find the Customizer to try to make changes, there were basically no options. My current theme has many options where I can change the look/design of the site, add menus, widgets, etc… That doesn’t appear to be possible with 2023.

ETA: It showed my three most recent posts but there was no option to show fewer or more. There also didn’t seem to be any working navigation. When I tried to click on one of the posts, for example, the link didn’t work.

Yes, I should have been more clear. It would be nice if the theme allowed you to change fonts/widths without needed to add plugins.

That worked! Thanks so much! I greatly appreciate it.

Thanks. This worked perfectly. I appreciate the quick response.
