In reply to: how to delete a widget from a pageThanks to both respondents. Great information. I have read the article/site-editor and it is a class in itself. It would take several more readings to digest it and I will refer back to it. I am an old guy and a wordpress beginner and have made what I think is a very simple “static” site. FYI I added the comments section by clicking on the “comments” button for the paragraph and somewhere I thought I read it was a widget. I originally posted that when I deleted the parts of the comments section they were gone from the edit version of the page and even after “saving” it still showed when viewing the page even though I did “saving” and viewing a few times. I gave up, but when I logged in the next time the comments section was gone from the page, any explanation for this? Still very puzzling to me but at least it seems OK.

In reply to: [Twenty Twenty-Four] Removed heading how to put it backHello 4thHubbard, Thanks for your response. I have done a lot of work I wouldn’t want to loose and have to redo. One reason I deleted it is I am a beginner and it was showing up on every page and I didn’t know how to delete it from all the other pages. Basically I have a static front page which links to a number of other pages. Also I didn’t know how to edit it but now my site is getting close to OK so I thought I would make an effort to use the header record.
I don’t really understand your last suggestion but I will look at documentation and it may well lead me to understand.
Thanks again.

In reply to: [Twenty Twenty-Four] How it insert page jumpsTo bad I have a typo in the title maybe that’s why no answer. Anyway I found how by accident.
It’s not hard once you know how but I could find no documentation to show me. Lots of trial and error. I had used <a id =”myplace”> … </a> in some HTML on my own computer no problem to go to a specific place in a page but WordPress is fussy about how you use it. The following showed what worked, only the <a>…</a> is my addition to what was already in the WordPress page header record. To branch to a specific line in a page, in my case a header record. Edit, HTML, for the header record you want to jump to and add the info as shown here. Note it is just before and after the text displayed for the header record.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center"><a id="myplace">TheHeader</a></h2>
Then on the page you want to jump from edit the button giving the page to jump to and add #myplace that’s what worked to me.
I hope someone who wants to do this finds this.

In reply to: How to get a simple voting block, For or Against?Thank you for your response. Your suggestion seems to be the type of thing I want but reading your comments I’m not sure that local storage is what I want. I’m a beginner so looked up local storage on the Web and as I understand it is on the users or clients computer and so I would not be accumulating the vote counts for everyone who accessed my site to vote on the items and I do want a running count of all votes. I would like that count to be available to the reader and myself. Am I missing something?
