Template editing died by degrees

  • Unknown's avatar

    I lost template editing abilities in two stages. At first, I would open a page in the editor and could edit the template or create a new one (which I did). Then I lost the option to create new templates, so I tried changing themes. Now page settings omit the template drop-down completely. How can I get it back without losing all my work by changing templates again?

    Hi there!

    Apologies, but we can’t help with your issue directly because we don’t host jitbits.com on our WordPress.com managed hosting.

    To explain, we are a fully managed hosting provider and use a custom server environment that is optimized for WordPress, provides built-in security and performance improvements, as well as in-house support for your site questions.

    Because of the way we’ve optimized our service, we also use a customized version of WordPress that is different (under the hood) from what you use at Bluehost. As a result, we do not have access to your site and are not familiar with the source of your issue.

    The good news is that help is available here at the open-source WordPress forums: https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/

    The folks in that forum are more familiar with these kinds of issues and are in the best position to help.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply and the helpful link!

  • Cheers! And if you need real-time backups so you can “rewind” changes if needed, we’d recommend this. It’s $1 for the first month, which could get you through your setup. We use the same backups here. Hoping it helps!
