  I bought a theme and I want to change the pictures loaded (keeping the strutures). The Peña theme I purchased had pictures of children, NGOs etc, but, when loading it, the pictures are completely different. How can I change theme with mi free profile (even if the theme is premium and paid).

  Thanks and best regards,

  Hi there,

  While we do have a theme called Pena on WordPress.com, the account you’re using to post here has never bought any premium themes from us. Are you perhaps speaking of the Themeforest theme, https://themeforest.net/item/pena-charitynonprofit-wordpress-theme/, instead, made for the stand-alone version of WordPress?

  In that case, please contact support for that theme directly as explained at https://themeforest.net/item/pena-charitynonprofit-wordpress-theme/15473940/support

  We’re only able to help with themes purchased on WordPress.com, and being used on a WordPress.com site, in this forum.

  Oh, wait, I see that theme is active on the site in your account, but the ldbmapayuda account you’re using to post here owns neither that site nor the theme. Those belong to the user who created the site, mapayudaorg, and we’ve been helping that account in another thread at https://wordpress.com/forums/topic/i-cant-visualize-the-theme-i-have-purchased/

  As explained in that thread, the images used in the theme demo are subject to copyright, so you won’t be able to use those exact images on your own site. You’ll need to upload your own images instead.

  We have some information on how to find copyright-free images for use on your site here:

  Hi!

  Thanks a lot. Yes, ldbmapayuda it’s the same person (me), I just “invited” another user as admin to see if I could change things that way. But didn’t work.

  Ok, so, how can I upload my own images? The thing is that, I go to ‘Theme-Customize’ but I cannot replace the theme’s images with my own ones in the editor.

  Can you help me please??

  Thanks and best regards,

  Hi,

  The images come from different parts of your site. Some need to be added to your pages, others to posts.
  I’d suggest that you first focus on the content you actually want to have on your site, and then, as we mentioned in the previous thread, follow the setup instructions from here:

  https://wordpress.com/theme/pena/setup.

  On that page, you can see where each page/post will be displayed on the homepage so you can plan ahead.
