I am confused now, you said she was sleeping in a crate at night, is she still? Can she hold her potty all night? If so then its a behavior issue more so than a potty issue. Block the crate off so she only has room to stand up and turn around. If the crate is too big (which sounds like it is) the dog views it like living area, potty area, most dogs will not soil the place that they sleep. That is why it needs to small enough for just her right now. As she gets older and more reliable you can give her the space back but right now she can't have the extra space.
Yes, she will get the hang of it. She is still adjusting to the new routine and rules. Its hard but patince is the key.
As soon as you open the door (she must be quiet first) take her directy outside and tell her to go potty. When she goes give her a treat and say good girl. Go back inside play with her a bit give her a little water and take her out again before you leave good girl and treat when she goes outside. Back inside, kennel with yummy bone to chew on and you leave.
