• I have several posts which use the Single template, but one post will not let me select Single as its template. All I get is a choice between Blank and Default. What have I forgotten to do? Is it possible that the post is corrupted in some way. I also notice that I cannot see the WP-Admin tools at the top of it the way I can with other posts or pages.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Thanks. Now it appears to me that the page in question (what-is-money) looks the same as the others when I go to the site. But when I load WP-Admin on my hosting service and look at the page it does not show the tool bar above that lets me edit it like all the other posts or pages do. Can you think of any reason why this would happen?

    I guess the Single template is the default template for posts in the Twenty-Twenty-Three theme, so the editor only lets me choose between Default and Blank for the template, even though it shows the template being used as Single.

    FWIW: The problem I was having with certain pages not showing the WP-Admin tools was because the pages were not secure. The SSL Insecure Content Fixer did not seem to fix it, but I was able to go through the sidebar menu that was navigating to the pages and manually edit the http: to be https: and that seems to have cured that problem.
