20250126-0138. Welp, I’m pretty much done with at least two pages from the Wizard setup templates. But editing my weblog site is still far from over as I continue to test and notice all these small details that need fixing!
I’ve learned nothing new except be patient. There’s two plugins. And between those two plugins, I find myself literally hunting down which pages (from the super long post ID numbers) are supposed to be good/already published.
Some are duplicates and are trashed waiting to be permanently deleted. I found out that I really need only three templates from the “hybrid” plugin: search results, archives and page error 404.
I was surprised that the Single Post and Single Page are NOT necessary; since the”hybrid” plugin could pull both my pages and posts that were already published under the original host.
But I still have the option of editing my posts/pages under the regular plugin and the “hybrid” plugin. Either way, it’s a convoluted setup and I spent more hours wondering how one page piggy-backs on the other page.
I could tell which pans is supposed to be the good/live from the “instances” that is supposed to be shared across the entire site such as the headers and footers.
Each post and page could handle its own template instead of “inheriting” the global settings. And I think that’s where the confusion arose. I was trying to force ONE page with its unique post id upon the other pages on a global setting.
But I think a global settings capability would require a plan upgrade double-up from the cheapest, my essential plan, to the most popular plan. But as it stands, I really only needed the essentials. You know, just to practice designing a website in case I should go into business to earn some income.
But for now, it’s just blogging for fun.
