  Hi there,

  We can’t help directly because we don’t host your site on our WordPress.com managed business hosting. As a result we don’t have the ability to take a closer look at your site.

  Instead your host (pitt.edu) uses the open-source variant of the WordPress platform which functions differently than what we offer here on WordPress.com. Specifically we use a custom theme management system with “built in” themes which is different from what you find if you are using the other WordPress variant.

  The good news is that I was able to find a guide guide here that covers how to change theme with the system you are using: https://wordpress.org/support/article/using-themes/#adding-new-themes

  Also, if that find you are still having trouble with switching themes, you can ask for further help with this you can ask in the open-source WordPress forums here: https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/

  Hope this helps point you in the right direction!
