  My website is fiorisoaps.com. I can’t get any themes to save and engage. I know how to use your front end. I’ve had my taobabe.com website for many years. Fiorisoaps is brand new and it is not responding the same way taobabe responds. Please help.

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

  Hi,

  The site http://fiorisoaps.com/ has a WordPress.com theme applied to it now. What happens when you switch to another theme? See the Switch Themes section of the Themes support page.

  When I try to switch themes, it says: Unable to activate theme. Contact support.

  Hi @taobabe!

  Try what hacchism suggest on this thread:

  How about clearing a cache of your web browser once? This will help you probably.

  It doesn’t work for everyone of course but at least there is something more you can try. Please let us know how it goes!

  Well, it seems I need to delete everything and start over. I can’t even add pages to my website any more. I must have done something to break it.

  @taobabe,

  Well, it seems I need to delete everything and start over.

  That’s almost never necessary.

  I can’t even add pages to my website any more.

  What happens when you attempt to create and publish a page? Can you provide an example of a page (URL please) that you’ve published since the site was created?

  The Twenty Sixteen theme displays a custom menu by default, which contains links to the home page and the two default static pages. If you publish additional static pages, they will not appear in the custom menu unless you add them to the menu. This is because on a custom menu, every menu item, except default ones present when the site is created, must be added manually as described in the Add menu items section Custom Menus support page.

  Correction:

  Add menu items section of the Custom Menus support page.

  Some themes display a default pages menu in the primary menu location when no custom menu is assigned there. The items in a default pages menu include links to all published pages and typically also a link to the home page, and the blog page if it is different than the home page. Twenty Sixteen does not display a default pages menu.
