Description

With the recent changes in WordPress and the introduction of Twenty Twenty-Five, the header no longer appears automatically when creating new pages. The current lesson script assumes that a header pattern is always visible at the top of the page, but in the latest version this is not the case.

For clarity, I suggest updating the instruction: https://learn.wordpress.org/lesson/setting-up-your-pages-posts-site-logo-and-navigation-menu/ to explain that:

  • The header now comes from the template part system rather than being automatically inserted with new pages.
  • If users don’t see a header, they need to open the Site Editor → Templates (e.g., Page or Front Page) and add or create a Header template part.
  • Inside the Header, they can place Site Logo, Navigation, and other blocks.

Research direction

Start with the linked lesson, “Setting up your Pages, Posts, Site Logo, and Navigation Menu,” and compare its header instructions with Twenty Twenty-Five. Done means the lesson explains where headers come from and what users should do when a header is not visible.
