  Hi,

  I have a problem with creating a new page without it duplicating the homepage. And if I try to edit a page independent of the other, the changes reflect in the other pages, and it’s so frustrating as I cannot edit anything and I’m wasting time.

  To top it all off, I contacted the support two days ago and nobody has replied to me, after paying!

  Anyone’s help will be appreciated.

  Thanks,

  Christine Mako.

  Hi Christine,

  I have visited your website. Your site does not appear to be published at this time.

  

  Have you tried creating a blank page to see if it works?

  Hi,

  Thanks. Yes, I put the website under coming soon, since my editing was going haywire.

  There is an option to add a new page but it doesn’t give me the option of a blank page. It just copies pre-existing ones. And I have tried making a custom blank template, but then the blank template replicates itself in all pages…

  Don’t know what else to do.

  If you are using a block theme, is it possible that you inadvertently edited the template?

  I was editing the template and it was fine. Then I got to a section that I wanted to delete and it sent me a warning dialog box (which I really didnt read). Since then, the problem has been happening.

  Alright, yes. The problem was in the theme. I had to change it and I think it’s gone now.

  Thanks to you both for helping. You don’t how much you’ve lessened my frustration.
