    If you have a website theme that you’d like to edit for another content purpose, you can customize the theme by modifying its code. Here are the general steps you can follow to customize a WordPress theme:

    1. Create a child theme: Before making any modifications to a WordPress theme, it’s important to create a child theme. This will ensure that any changes you make to the theme won’t be overwritten when the theme is updated. You can create a child theme by following the instructions in the WordPress Codex: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes.
    2. Modify the theme files: Once you have created a child theme, you can start modifying the theme files to suit your needs. The specific files you will need to modify will depend on the changes you want to make. For example, if you want to change the colors of the theme, you may need to modify the CSS file. If you want to add new functionality, you may need to modify the PHP files.
    3. Test your changes: After making changes to the theme files, it’s important to test your changes to make sure they work as intended. You can do this by previewing the changes in the WordPress Customizer or by using a local development environment.
    4. Deploy your changes: Once you’re satisfied with your changes, you can deploy them to your live site. This can be done by uploading the modified files to your web server using FTP or a file manager.

    Keep in mind that modifying a WordPress theme can be complex and requires some technical knowledge. If you’re not comfortable with modifying theme files, you may want to consider hiring a WordPress developer to help you.

    Hi, ningarajatnoor108, is your free WordPress.com website, meridaskilllearning.wordpress.com, the site you need help with? If not please share your site address.

    To use a 3rd party theme here on your WordPress.com website, you would need to upgrade to the Business plan. https://wordpress.com/support/themes/uploading-setting-up-custom-themes/

    Otherwise, you can activate any of the themes found in our Theme Showcase and which you can also access from your Dashboard>Appearance>Themes.

    Since your above WordPress.com site is still behind the “coming soon” banner, could you let us know what theme you are using and what modifications you’re looking to make? Once we know that we can better assist you.

    Hope that helps, but post back here if you have other questions about this or need more help.
