୭̥⋆*。Why Don't Post Layouts work? [RESOLVED + ANSWER AT END]ˏˋ°•*⁀➷

╰►Hello! I'm new to this site, and a total of two of my attempts to make a blog layout have gone through and worked- but when i tried to edit them, they collapsed in on themselves and stopped showing up. So i scrapped the edits, scrapped the entire layout, and used a pre-made one. I can no longer use layouts I guess, because they no longer show up. The most that happens is that a giant brick of text is above my post that's supposed to be telling the site how my post is to look - and it's just sitting there, doing nothing. and YES, I am putting it into the code block, it's just refusing to do anything. I have both selected "use on new blog post" and "copy CSS" and neither have fixed my issue. I tried just trying the "use on new blog post button" and entering the copied CSS into the code block, and a whole lotta nothing has happened. I'm at a loss.જ⁀➴


╰►This has given me such a crazy headache because I've been working of getting my site set up for quite a few hours.જ⁀➴


╰►Turns out my issue was I was inputing text into the blog post itself before choosing my theme/layout, you have to leave it completely blank and THEN choose your layout. Otherwise, it bugs out and just shows up as a huge wall of text. This does sadly mean making your own layout might be an issue.જ⁀➴

is the code in a style tag? it should start with <style> and end with </style>



╰►I'm actually not sure! I'll check! Thank you, even if it doesn't help my situation, I'm thankful for you offering help anyways :) જ⁀➴

╰►No dice, I made sure it started and ended with </style>, but it still just shows up as a huge wall of text! જ⁀➴

╰►I think I figured it out? My issue was I would input text, and then try to apply the theme, which i guess made it bug out. I'll try reporting it as an issue. જ⁀➴

hope you figure it out, or it gets fixed if its a bug, then! not gonna pretend im a coding expert, but if you send like a screenshot of the code i can see if theres any obvious issue
