Thank you!

+1 for mentioning Udemy. In fact I have found a free course at Udemy specifically designed using 5.5.1, by a gentleman called KC Tan: https://www.udemy.com/course/learn-wordpress-online-updated/learn/lecture/8502390?components=purchase%2Ccacheable_buy_button%2Cbuy_button%2Crecommendation#content

Hopefully by the end this will deliver some enlightenment. I’m frankly baffled by, for example, the so-called “Page Title”: it doesn’t seem as though this is contained in a “block”, since the “block editing” tab goes blank if you selected this text. Nor is it the same as HTML TITLE tag (which just changes the words at the top of the browser frame). Is it, I wonder, at all possible to change the formatting of this “title” font at all? But if I get rid of it, the page becomes “no name”, presumably not so good from an SEO angle. Do I therefore set it to “display: none”? I haven’t got the faintest idea.

I’ve done plenty of editing of HTML, CSS and PHP (and Javascript), so hopefully this won’t be a total block for me. I find it quite strange, however, that you have to get down and dirty with this technical stuff to fulfil fairly basic formatting requirements.

I really think, also, that it is incumbent on designers to produce new and comprehensive documentation, particularly when a major upgrade turns everything upside down (as appears to be the case with v5.5), and particularly when things are anything but intuitive. I’m still looking for the WordPress 5.5.1 API documentation… I presume I’ll be looking for a long long time.

Thanks. There doesn’t seem to be anything on those pages telling me how to delete a post / new topic.

NB I just tried to delete this question as I seem to have found the answer … but I couldn’t find any way to delete

Helpful reply, thanks.
