Le wild multiple templates appear!

Categories:

OK, so, yesterday I revamped this blog, right. I’m not sure what happened, and it might be due to me opening several tabs of the same thing (Site Editor) which caused cache hijinks, but I noticed weird things yesterday.

First, this blog’s template — template Blog Home — got reset to its default mode on its own. I don’t know what happened. No recent update on WordPress, Gutenberg (last update was 4 days ago), nor the theme Twenty Twenty Four (last update was December 2025), so I chalked the issue on cache gremlins. Not only the template Blog Home, but nearly every single template was affected, too. I got so stressed out because it was almost dinner-time and I haven’t made dinner (priorities, priorities…) Luckily, things were under control as I made most of the changes on the Site Editor’s Style section, so a lot of the style setup was still intact/saved and less minuscule changes on the small things. People who said, “don’t sweat the small stuffs” clearly haven’t seen bloggers.

Second, this still confused me a hell lot, multiple templates/copies of templates. Like, multiples, with the same name, even. Eh, hello, system not confused meh? “Which template Pages issit she wants to use? We have like 2-3 templates with the name “Pages” here!”

And you can bet that it was not me who made it. I have enough dignity to give files proper names, okay. At least I can put additional S on my files so I can differentiate between “final_versionsss” and “final_versionssss_ver_final_for_realss”.

I did check the issues list on Gutenberg’s GitHub in case there were any recent reports about this, but I couldn’t find any, so it might be an isolated, rare case (again, cache.)
