My toddler won’t wee in the toilet 😭

Bit of a strange one because DD won’t pee on the toilet but for the past 4 nights she has without fail been for a poop on the toilet. Her wees are just all on the floor currently. Dry most nights and naps too. I take her to the toilet often but she has only ever peed in the toilet a couple of times. Have been potty training for 2 weeks, doing the underwear method, have tried the pull ups and going to the toilet every half an hour method, tried the naked from the bottom half method too but just can’t seem to work out where I’m going wrong. DD is very understanding of the toilet and knows we wee in there. She will tell me she needs to go the toilet but only after she’s already started weeing. HELP!!!!!

How old is your child? If you have tried all those different things just in a 2 week period I would say you haven't been consistent enough and chopping and changing your methods is maybe just confusing her?

I potty trained 3 kids including a set of twins - always follow the same sort of method

Bare on bottom half - fill them up with juice and toilet visits every 20 mins (set a timer)

After 3/4 days put loose trousers on - no pants

Don't progress to pants with trousers for maybe 7-10 days

Don't move onto next stage until you see progress. Ive always done it when I've had annual leave and not left the house for 7 days I wouldn't potty train much before age 3 either as I think they pick it up quicker

She will be 3 in May! I will leave her bare tomorrow and make sure to fill her up with fluids and take her to the toilet often! Thank you !
