  • Hi. What are you using to edit? Is your theme using the block editor, a page builder or something else? Thanks.

    I’m going to assume the block editor. Is there a way I can confirm?

    I tried to checkout the theme you’re using, but there are so few details on it that I have no idea how it works for you. You can have a look at the block editor info in the WordPress documention. Hopefully this will give you an idea. If you’re trying to click on text, I would suspect the block editor or some sort of visual editor from a plugin or your theme.

    I do not think we’re using that block editor. I see a plugin called Classic Editor. Does that help? I”m sorry, I didn’t build the site, I just edit it.

    If you are using the classic editor, you should be able to just edit the page and use the dashboard to edit. But are you trying to edit the homepage? Themes all work a bit different. Each page template could have a different layout and way of editing. Or like a theme I work on, the homepage could be made of widgets. It’s very difficult to know how your editing works without being able to see the page in edit mode.

    No, I’m not editing the homepage.

    I have a box that I can enter type into and there’s a button that says Visual and a button that says Text. The text button used to allow me to edit via HTML, but the button doesn’t seem to work.

    After going to the page directly from t he front end, I’m able to get to the text edit. Not too sure why, but I’ll take it for now.

    Glad you were able to find a way to edit it. Hopefully no further problems with editing. And that is the classic editor, so there should always be a text box somewhere. I’ve had to previously hit edit when on the page to get it working. Then next time editing the page going in via dashboard has worked.

    Anyway, glad you managed. Thanks for updating!
