Can't set Manifest theme, just loading window shows

    All themes work good for me, but when I try to select Manifest (free), it shows me just loading window and the loading circle never ends. I can change themes without problems, yet this one – my longed one – is simply impossible to set. How can I help me? Thanks.

    Hi there, Manifest, a non-responsive theme that doesn’t adapt to mobile devices, was retired earlier this year and is only available on sites created before its retirement date on 2016-06-03.

    Could you let me know the URL of the site on which you were trying to activate it so I can take a look? imhotepie.wordpress.com was only created a week ago, so in theory you shouldn’t be able to see Manifest as an option on it.

    Could you also please copy-paste the address you see in the browser when you’re trying to select Manifest?

    Here are a couple of newer minimalist one-column themes you might like to look at. They are responsive, so look great on devices from phones to tablets to laptop and desktop screens.

    Hi, thank you for a quick response!
    I am sure I have just one account and one site – imhotepie.wordpress.com. I couldn’t see Manifest in the main theme menu, but when I type “simple” into the find bar, voila – it’s there.

    The address is: https://wordpress.com/theme/manifest/imhotepie.wordpress.com
    Thanks for your suggestions, I’ll try.

    If you wouldn’t mind uploading a screenshot showing which “find bar” you mean?

    Here’s a guide on how to make a screenshot:

    You can upload the screenshot – in a graphic format like JPG, PNG, or PDF – in your Media Library so I can see it. Thanks.

    Thanks for your suggestions, I’ll try.

    Great!

    This “find bar”. How would you name it?

    Thanks for the screenshot. There are several different theme showcases so it was helpful to narrow down which one was showing Manifest when it shouldn’t be. We’ve tracked down the source of the problem and Manifest should no longer appear for sites created after its creation date. There may be some caching so it could take some time to take effect.

    Penscratch is looking good!
