    Hi WordPress.

    Good evening from the Philippines. I chose Edin as my original theme only to find out that it will not work for my website. How do I change it to another theme? I would like to use the DYAD theme instead. Is that possible? Thank you! :D

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

    Every theme has a detailed theme description page with set up instructions like this one https://wordpress.com/themes/dyad/ and a live demo site like this one https://dyaddemo.wordpress.com/

    Switching themes can be easily done. Themes are just “skins” on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. You can quickly and easily change themes on any WordPress.COM hosted blog to another one found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and no data will be lost or negatively affected by the change. The only time you may have to do a lot of work is if you are changing to a dramatically different theme with different features and/or if you have done any CSS editing.

    Provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the blog go to Dashboard > Appearance > Themes, Browse themes until you find one you like and click the “activate” or the “preview” link, or type in the name of the theme you want to use when it appears.

    The theme customizer https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/ provides a preview function for exactly that purpose ie. so you can view what a theme will appear like prior to changing one.
