    I’m trying to work with twenty twenty-one on a localhost installation, but finding it frustrating.

    I want to activate the header. there’s a header.php file, but no way in the theme editor to activate it or work with it. How do I do that?

    there is a footer widget. I’ve figured out how to add stuff to it. But how do I get rid of the bottom stuff below the line or edit it? E.g., I don’t need the site name repeated down there.

  • Hi @wperic ,

    You can go to your WordPress dashboard and select Appearance and Customize to work with the header.

    You will see a site preview and two pencil icons on the right; click on them to customize the Site Identity and the Menu.

    To get rid of the bottom, you could add something like this to the customizer in the Aditional CSS box:

    .site-info {
    display: none !important;
    }

    Alternatively, try a block theme like Twenty Twenty-Five to customize every part of your website with almost no code.

    I hope this helps,

    Jos Velasco.

    Thanks, Jos.

    Is that all you can do to the header? Not add anything, like a banner?

    In any case, I thought 2021 was a block theme. It came up when I searched block themes. And it seems to insist that I use the block editor. When I go to the WP themes page, then select block themes, and then enter twenty twenty-one, it comes up:

    Twenty Twenty-One is a classic theme built with traditional PHP templates. It supports blocks for the content but does not support Full Site Editing (FSE) out of the box.

    To add a banner to a theme like Twenty Twenty-one, you would need to create a child theme and modify the PHP code, or insert it using other methods, such as plugins.

    The following default theme, Twenty Twenty-two, is built to take advantage of the Site Editor features introduced in WordPress 5.9. All the following default themes are built with that in mind.

    Best,

    Jos Velasco.
