SCOT DENHALTER

The editor didn’t give me template options. Turns out I had to go to Dashboard > Pages >Quick Edit to find template options, but I wouldn’t have thought to go there without your advice. So, thank you. My pages now look like I wanted them to.

Now I just have to figure out how to fix the same problem with my posts. Unfortunately, Quick Edit on a post does not give me a Template option field in which I can choose “Blank Canvas.”

The post is published and the site is live, but I was logged into the site. Maybe that was the problem, The above link is a page, not a post, but it is marred by the same image at the top and block elements at the bottom.

Ignore that last bit. I tried to upload images of the two pages, but the uploads failed. I guess I missed deleting one of those attempts.

I just deleted the site and am starting over. I was just too adventurous without really knowing what I was doing.

Will do. I turned off the “Coming Soon” page. Obviously, that’s not enough.

Now the post I published overlays the background image. I guess I need to create a header menu that links to a page listing my posts. I’ll try to figure out how to do that.

Okay. I got it to go live now.

I gave it a try. I had no pages. Don’t know why. I added one, but it uses neither template. (celluloidsouvenirs.com) I also published a post.

Thanks so much for your willingness to help an idiot.

@kathryn P. I have been hesitant to publish anything until I got the home page looking like I wanted. I did write posts when I was trying to use the Intrace template, but I couldn’t get down to a template with all the elements removed. Like Twenty Twenty and Twenty Twenty-one, it contain elements I couldn’t get rid of.

I can edit the posts I have created, but can I publish them to whatever template I end up using. I have Google Doc copies of their content, so nothing is lost if my posts won’t attach to anything but the Intrace template.

The “Nothing Here” text is black and hidden by the background photo, but it’s there. I don’t know what a “query loop” is, but I could have inadvertently created or deleted one.

@kathryn P. Thanks, Kathryn. I didn’t see this soon enough. Your way was easier. It’s embarrassing how new I am to this.

Took a bit of Googling. I hope this works.

I apologize. I’m trying to figure out how to upload an image from a URL.

Sorry, Yes, I started with the Twenty Twenty-Three template, but it doesn’t allow a background image. So I used the Twenty Twenty template because?it is used by the books I purchased. When I couldn’t get rid of the footer, I tried to use the Twenty Twenty-One template, but with the same result.
