Question Asked: How Do I Change My WordPress Theme?
Assuming you’ve already got a new theme uploaded, activating it is simple.
- Make sure you’re logged into your Admin Panel.
- Click “Appearance” to expand the menu.
- Click “Themes”
- Click the thumbnail image of the one you want to activate to preview the site, and make sure things look correct.
- Click “Activate” in the top right corner of the preview window.
Alternately, if you’ve already previewed the theme, you can simply click “Activate” below that theme on the Themes page, without previewing it.
It’s that simple. If your theme doesn’t look right in the preview mode, it’s possible that it was designed for an older version of WordPress and is missing a lot of the code that’s necessary to make things look and work correctly. If you’ve got an issue, feel free to post a comment and I’ll do my best to help you out.
