  Hello,

  I’m trying to change my blog theme but the “Preview & Customize” is not to be found anywhere on the blog themes. I go to the info page and all I see is to either view a demo site or activate the design! Please help! I want to change the theme but want to make sure I’ve got it perfect before I actually have it go live and public!

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

  Hi there,

  Could you share the name of the theme or themes that you test and saw that the preview was not available?

  I will be able to test once I get that information from you.

  I look forward to helping you sort this out!

  Hi there,

  Thank you for sharing the theme name.

  Please note that the feature of the Preview & Customize option is not available for all of the themes and the Cerauno theme is one of them.

  I am sharing the link of the theme’s demo and you can view how the theme layout is and try to imagine how your content will look in this layout and design:

  There are many themes in https://wordpress.com/themes/ that do have Preview & Customize option and you can explore those as well.

  I see the same thing. Most other free themes offer the chance to Preview and Customize.

  Hi there,

  Yes, this theme does not have the option to preview. This is why you can see how the site on this theme looks here in the theme demo https://ceraunodemo.wordpress.com/?demo

  Hi there,

  Did you check the demo of that theme?

  Thank you for responding. I checked the demo site option. It is just nerve wracking to put it live before working out exactly how i want it to look. I might be brave and activate it in the future, but it would be nice if whoever designed it would add a preview and customize option! (Especially since WordPress blocks don’t always work perfect for us novice designers.)
