Forums / cant change theme. dashboard shows me on a theme that isnt the one you see

cant change theme. dashboard shows me on a theme that isnt the one you see

    Can’t change the theme; says I’m not logged in.

    When I place my domain name (clearheartcoaching.com) in the url, my wordpress site comes up on the BOLD Theme.

    When I log in to my dashboard (which shows the SUNDANCE theme on the dashboard), I am unable to make any changes to (or activate???) the theme.

    When I click on the blue “Customize” button in the Sundance box,
    it takes me to a page with a gray navigation sidebar beside a content page that says my “session has expired. Please log in.”
    My username is filled in but my password is not.
    I log back in, it says I have logged in successfully.
    Then it immediately blips back to “Your Session has Expired”
    and remains stuck in that cycle no matter how many times I reenter my password.

    My Clearheartcoaching.com site pages were in “draft.” (I doubt that draft is the issue but just in case, I changed some pages to Public.)

    I’ve cleared cache and cookies, refreshed my browser and reset my password. Nada. Help.

    Thanks

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    I see a nearly-illegible version of Sundance. You need more contrast between text and background.

    What browser and version are you using? You may have to do the cache and cookie clear and a full restart. And if you’re using Adblock, you will need to ensure that it whitelists WP.com; it seems to be blocking us recently.

    firefox 13.0.1
    I’ll do the cache and cookie thing again.
