Can't customize homepage
-
I tried customizing my homepage like replacing the post title page with my own text, but I’m unable to edit the text. Also, the menu that appears when I select the block doesn’t have text edit options, like bold text. I’m ensuring that the edit mode is selected in the top left. Not sure what I’m missing?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello there,
Many thanks for reaching out!
Ok, can you tell me where you’re making these edits please? It sounds like you may be editing via the site editor there.
Also, generally speaking is there site out there you’re looking to emulate?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi! I believe I am in the site editor. I’m pretty new to wordpress, so I’m a little unsure.. I was just looking to try out a theme to get accustomed to the site and learn.
There are some things I want to edit, like the post title block that was already set from the theme example, but I don’t have the ability to change the text. Even if I try to enter in a new post title block, I’m not able to edit the text.

Hi @melodygb, hmm — can you check to see if the text you want to edit is in your posts or pages?
You can find the pages here:
https://wordpress.com/pagesAnd the posts here:
https://wordpress.com/postsIn fact, I’d recommend starting a new post to see if that does the trick for you:
https://wordpress.com/postIt can just be a test that you delete later, but tell us what you find. Thanks!

Hi again — just checking to see if you’ve got this. I can see the issue and we’d be happy to help you get it untangled a bit.
Can you start by writing your Above the Clouds post here?

Hello! Yes, it seems that I’m able to edit all the text in Posts rather than Pages. So when you save work in Posts, does it save to Pages as well?

Hi there,
Yes, you have your post page set as your home page, so whatever changes you make to the post title or content on an individual post will also update what has been displayed on the home page as well.
Hope this helps.
