  Hi all — I’ve been playing with menus and footers, and I don’t know what I did, but it seems like whatever I title my website (“Julie Israel”), that title shows up as an unwanted footer on every page but my homepage. Weirdly, I don’t see it in my editor. My homepage has a footer menu that I actually like, but I’ve been unable to successfully “copy styles” and paste it across other pages.

  Can anyone advise on getting rid of the phantom title footer, and/or changing it to be just like the one on my homepage? Thank you!

  Good news — I appear to have figured it out! The answer lay in the template editor, which I stumbled into through trial and error. While editing any page, open the settings. Under the “page” tab, there should be a section that says “Template” and something next to it. Mine said “Pages,” I think because I’d started the page as a blank page. Click it.

  At least for me, clicking “Template: Pages” opened up the website-wide controls I’d been trying to get to all along, like header and footer. I was able to delete the phantom footer and add a universal header menu. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
