Hello,
I'm running into a few different problems, I want to make my first post with the new template + elementor (before I had another layout and didn't use Elementor).
Note that I'm only using WordPress for a little over a week now, so the problem might be completely on my end.
The website: lifetolegend
(I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to link yet, it's just a com website)
Anyways, to sketch the problem.
- I get the warning that I should add 'Post Content' for Elementor to work. So, I tell elementor to continue anyways, cause, to add this post content widget, I need to be in my chosen Elementor PAGE layout (or should I be using a post layout for this?) When adding this Post Content I want to edit it away/edit it into my original layout as much as possible as it's a duplicate of my original content in a layout, but I can't edit it at all. There are some styling options and the advanced tab workers, but I can't delete components or even edit the text.
Or, I follow the steps that are nicely laid out in this video:
An error occurred'
'The following error(s) occurred while processing the request:
Connecting to the Library failed. Please try reloading the page again'.
This is very annoying because I don't want to use a premade template anyway, but I can't get started on my own, because of the points mentioned above.
What is going on here?
1: Why do I HAVE to have a 'Post Content' widget out there.
2: Why can't I customize it?
3: What's going on with the title of my custom layout when I do load it (before and after I add the Post Content widget)
Hoping you guys can help me out, everything went really smooth when building this page, but now I want to make an actual blog post I'm at a loss.
To add some context:
1. This is how I want it to look and I did save this template: Lifetolegend main page -> Welcome blog. This post was written BEFORE I changed my whole website template (from Aeon to The7 of Themeforest) and BEFORE I used Elementor. However, when switching I changed the old layout into the one you see now with Elementor and saved it to be used in future posts - which doesn't work.
2. This is one of the layouts I get when trying to work through the steps in the video I mentioned before: Lifetolegend main page -> Life Cycle of Jellyfish. When I have the title set on 'Show page title' it doesn't show this recent post sidebar. When I remove it it suddenly adds this sidebar, smashing the content together. Just like the 'Post Content' widget, this sidebar can't be edited either, nor can it be removed.
Thank you!

Design Your WordPress Blog Posts With Elementor's Single Post Template
starting at the Elementor part. But yea, despite linking Elementor to my website, when I pick a layout (because my own doesn't work) I either get a screen that doesn't load or the message 'An error occurred'
'The following error(s) occurred while processing the request:
Connecting to the Library failed. Please try reloading the page again'.
