  I’m setting up a site that will use pages rather than posts and offer a book-length manuscript. Which WordPress themes would be best?

  I’ve created a draft site using Rebalance but would like to see how it would look using Twenty Sixteen. Is there a way simply to change the theme with materials already entered, or should I start over in designing a page with Twenty Sixteen? Thanks.

  @phoenixdi: Please can you start a new forum thread with your question? It is easier for staff and volunteers to help out with one topic per thread.

  Some set up time is required in order to get themes looking like their demo site. To get you started Intergalactic has the following support documentation:

  https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/intergalactic/

  I’ll be happy to help further if you can start a new thread and point me to specific areas of your site that you’re trying to change.

  Thanks!

  Hi @emanuel381,

  It sounds as though your site’s main focus is going to be on your writing. As such, I recommend filtering our repository for “minimal” themes that are designed to showcase a site’s content above all else:

  https://wordpress.com/themes/filter/minimal/type/free/

  Hemingway Rewritten, Manifest, and Kelly are a few that may work well for your needs. Theme choice is very much down to personal preference, though, so I encourage you to experiment. :)

  You can preview how different themes will look by navigating to My Site > Themes, hovering over a particular theme, and then choosing the option to Preview.

  After switching to a different theme, all of your site’s content will remain the same but you will have to set up any active widgets again.

  Let me know if that information helps out or if you have any further questions.
