  My WordPress site is btrand new and uses the free plan, so there are no plugins or other gizmos altering my interface. However, there seems to be no appearance tab in my WordPress interface. My interface: https://imgur.com/YWPvZkR What it’s supposed to look like: https://imgur.com/KWbltCh

  Can anyone please help?

  Thanks

  Hey etchedy,

  The first image is of a self-hosted WordPress website and the second one is of a WordPress.com website.

  I hope you know that both are two different platforms.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  But if you want to access such dashboard, you just need to append /wp-admin to the URL of your website to open the similar classic dashboard

  Also, why is there no “add new” button beside “themes?” for my interface?

  On WordPress.com sites you can only add your own themes if your site is on the Business Plan.

  I thought there was an issue with my themes at first but thanks for clearing it up.
