Having the hardest time with using word press

    For starters it’s laggy. I make changes, and then save them, but when I go to preview it doesn’t show the update.

    Secondly, the templates are not fully customizable. The one I chose, won’t let me delete the button off the home page, because I don’t need it. Very frustrating.

    I’m on my third template, because the first one’s menu bars were pink, and I couldn’t find any way to change it. When I changed the theme to something else, one with a black menu at the top, and the logo in the middle on the home page, after saving and making changes, SEVERAL TIMES, the menu remained pink, despite removing the menu completely and creating it from scratch.

    I just don’t get it. People say word press is great, and maybe my issues stem from the fact that I am using the free version, but I cant justify spending money when I cant even get the free version to work. If the template has a black menu, why is the previous theme menu showing up instead? Small things like that. So now I’m stuck with picking either another template and hoping that it will work as I need it to, or try to build from scratch.. Idk at this point.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    I wish I could just delete the whole darn thing. I just changed the them again, and AGAIN all it does is merge the two themes together. It’s so damn frustrating. What the actual heck

    Good Morning –

    Let’s take this one piece at a time and get things figured out. Starting with:

    For starters it’s laggy. I make changes, and then save them, but when I go to preview it doesn’t show the update.

    Are you using our app or web browser? Which type and version number? That information can be found at https://browsehappy.com/ If an update is indicated go ahead and do that, then recheck the behavior.

    I also suggest checking the behavior in a different browser all together. Report back with those findings.

    Secondly, the templates are not fully customizable. The one I chose, won’t let me delete the button off the home page, because I don’t need it. Very frustrating.

    I can see you’re currently using Natural. Is that the theme that you’re struggling with or a different one?
