The apparence tab doesn’t appear

    Hello,

    I have a problem and is that my menu seems to be shorter than it’s supposed to be. For example, the apparence tab does not appear in my tab and I can not change the theme of my page. Can you help me?

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

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

  • Hi there,

    It seems like there may be an issue with your user role. Can you please double-check and confirm what your user role is? In order to access advanced options like themes and appearance, your user role must be set to Administration (or Admin for short). If you’ve been added as an Editor or author user, simply ask the owner to change your user role to admin.

    Check out this detailed guide on user roles to learn more: https://wordpress.com/support/user-roles/. It’s a great resource that can help you understand how user roles work and how to make the most of them.

    I hope this information helps!

    Hello, shameemdev,

    According to the creator of the page I am also an admin, so there should be another problem.

    Hi, @sjgn 👋🏼

    @shameemdev is right — your user is invited to this site as Editor. 😊

    ⚠️ Editors don’t have access to site management and configuration features, among which is the Appearance menu you’re referring to.

    I suggest reaching out to the site owner, asking them to change your role to Administrator, if you need to customize the site further.

    Here’s a guide explaining the user roles:
