What do you mean by “applying similar layouts to 128 pages”?
I had a Page layout with a custom slider + 3 widgets set up. I then cloned the layout to 128 other pages and edited the widgets and slider so they were not mirroring the original widget. This created some 300+ new widget blocks. I’ve since reset my layout which fixed the problem but now I need to edit all my pages again. Any idea how to achieve my intended outcome without breaking my widget management page?
How exactly did you “clone the layout”? You need to start by reducing the number of widget areas being used. 300+ is really quite ridiculous. I’m surprised you managed to get WordPress to run at all for this length of time.
Ha. I cloned the layout in the visual editor. I understand now what I did wrong. Thanks for your help
