Hi @martijnox thanks for the screenshots.

Can you confirm that this same issue happens with no plugins active and the default 2024 theme active?

Also, which hosting provider do you use?

Hi @martijnox – sorry to hear about the issues you are facing.

Can you share a screenshot of what you are seeing in the editor? Also, can you open developer tools in your browser (instructions here) and and then reload the page and share a screenshot of any errors in the console?

Finally, can you please deactivate all plugins again (every single plugin… not just those that are related to the theme/editor) and also try switching to the default 2024 theme and let us know if the problem continues?

Thanks!

Thanks for reaching out.

If I understand your request correctly, you are trying to achieve two things.

A. Assigning a custom template to a page
B. Creating a blog page

If you are referring to something else, please let me know (and ideally share a screenshot or video). But I’ll share some information below on the two things I think you are trying to accomplish.

Assigning a custom template to a page

You can assign a template to a page through the WordPress page editor:

1. Edit the page.
2. Open the Page Settings sidebar.
3. Look for Summary > Template and click on Page. It will open a menu, then click on Swap Template. A modal will open, and from this modal, you can choose a different template for your page.

Here is a gif showing this.

Creating a blog page

To create a blog page, you don’t need to create a template as the theme already has one (unless you are modifying the blog page layout):

1. Create a blank page and give it a title, such as Blog.
2. From the WP admin sidebar, go to Settings > Reading.
3. In the Reading Settings, you will find an option named Posts page. Here, select the page you just created for the blog.

Here is a screenshot.

Let me know if you need further assistance!

Hi Pål,

Thanks for reaching out.

and my changes are lost

I’m sorry to hear that your progress/changes got lost.

There might be a chance to restore your previously saved styles from the Styles Revisions log. To do this, go to the Site Editor > Styles > Click on the Revisions icon to see the log.

Here is a walkthrough video on how to restore previously saved styles: Restore Styles Video.

–> **What can I do to prevent this?**

Before I can provide an answer, we need some additional clarification on when the changes were lost. Do you mean the theme reset to its default style on its own after you updated it to a new version? Or was it while you were in the middle of editing something? If so, what were you updating?

–> **Where do I update the default font?**

To update the default font in the Site Editor, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Site Editor.
2. Navigate to Styles > Typography. You can find this option in the sidebar.
3. Scroll down in the sidebar until you find the Elements section.
4. Here, you can change the font for all elements, including headings, paragraphs, and other text elements.

This should allow you to customize the fonts across your entire site effectively.

Hello, thanks for reaching out,
To better assist you with the issue, could you please provide us with the following information:

1. Screenshot of the Navigation Edit Screen. Please also include the left sidebar in the screenshot as it has information related to navigation. If the sidebar is closed, you can open it by clicking on the WP logo in the top left corner of the page.
2. Screenshot of the Template Editing Screen:
   Go to Appearance > Editor > Template > No Title.
3. If you have made any customizations to the header and template parts, please also mention them. This will be helpful for us to diagnose the issue.
