Theme doesn’t change

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi, I’m trying to change the theme on my site and the only thing that updates to the new theme is the header. The rest of the site uses the default theme. How can I change the whole theme of my site to the one I’ve chosen?

  • Hi @mhicksalcaraz, could you send a link to the site you’re having trouble with?

    Note these forums are for the sites hosted and managed here at WordPress.com. For help with a WordPress installation hosted somewhere else, you’ll need to use these forums instead:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    If the site is hosted here, and changing themes isn’t working, there are a couple of possibilities:

    – You might be using an older theme that requires its own homepage setup

    – You might be thinking of the page template. Try adding a page, and scrolling down to the home page templates. You might find the layout you’re wanting there. Just note you’ll need to replace the content.

    If you need more help, again, please include a link to the site so we can see what you’re seeing. Thanks!
