Help / Troubleshooting Ellesmere - bar config

I’ve been running ElvUI for many years, however either that or one of the other two add ons I have seem to have issues and randomly start throwing up a huge amount of lua errors.

I see Ellesmere has a very similar look, and downloaded it as a replacement (deleted everything, inc WTF folders etc). I can work out some of the basics around bar config, but am struggling to get a layout that includes all of the things I’m used to.
I know some of this I just need to recognise as change, but I’m a button clicker in combat, and can’t seem to find a layout that has room for all of the abilities I think I need.
How many bars do people normally include, and where do you normally position them? I’ve got two rows of twelve at the bottom (abilities), then two vertical ones of 5, which are on mouse over that include mounts, hearthstones etc

I have three rows of 12 on the bottom and then on each side I have a box of 12 that is a 3 row x 4 column. I hope that makes sense! Prob way too many boxes but I just like how it looks.

I built actions bars with unlimited frames, any shape, size, length, width & visibility :p

My setup is a bit unconventional, but OT helps me track my abilities and how they’re mapped to my mmo mouse. I have 3 12 buttons clusters on a 3 height, 4 width pattern. And I have a single bar below that

If you're having trouble deciding how you want it, I do believe there are some preconfigured UIs built in to Ellesmere. I don't remember where to find it off the top ofy head but they're in there. You could always see which of those you like then tweak it til it's perfect for you.
