Sure! While on my dashboard, when I click on either published or draft blog post or page, the redirect to the place where it is kept to be edited or worked on is 100% white space. Nothing along the edges to choose blocks or to time post publication or any means to write on that 100% blank ‘page’ on the screen. The only way I can get back to the wp dashboard is to click the ‘go back one page’ arrow button in the top left corner of the computer itself. It does go back to the dashboard. That same button even shows the correct ‘history’ when right-clicked.
AS to the widget situation: my only use of widgets via a plug-in is the JETPACK plugin where I have enabled the only two widget settings: 1- ‘making extra widgets available…’ and 2. ‘enabling widget visibility controls only on certain posts/pages…’
I do have the latest version of JETPACK. I’m wondering if the glitch means I should just wait until 5.8.???comes out before updating WP? Thanks for helping!

Thanks for that practical app info! Very helpful!
I’m going to assume it’s not the theme at this point (unless “Hemingway” tells me otherwise here) and try some other things on a refreshed staging site.

Thank you – all the best.

Thanks I will look into that – sounds easy enough now that I know where to go. And you’re right, this hosting company has special cached settings related to their systems.
Curious – is this a vital issue? If I did nothing, what are the implications?
Thank you again for your time and answers.

Its working – just thought I’d follow up and let you know.

ummm, tech-dummie here: my site is currently under an ‘under construction’ sign so not sure I can do this? If there’s a way, please let me know and I’ll try to get it for you.
And maybe that’s why it’s not showing in the preview? However, older published posts don’t show the Jetpack comment changes, either.
BTW: thank you for your prompt response.

thank you for your prompt reply. it helped me to move forward with the site change process considerably

Thank you so much for your prompt reply. Answered perfectly!
