Theme won't change
-
I changed to a new theme but the old one still appears when I go to my blog. Why won’t the new one show up?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Howdy sixtyonmyown!
You may have downloaded the theme or looked at it. Make sure to activate the theme.

Let me know if this helps. Happy New Year!

Hey @sixtyonmyown!
I wanted to add to @eallas’s tips – it looks like your site is currently running the Lovecraft theme – is that the one you want? If so, it may be that you’re seeing the content you had on your site prior to the change, and not the actual old theme :)
Let me know if that’s what’s happening – if you’d like I can set the site to use Lovecraft’s default settings for you.

Thanks for your responses. Weird that you see Lovecraft and I still see the old theme. I went in today and selected different pictures for the pages but they were from the old theme as well.
You mention I may be seeing the old content and not the old theme. I’m not sure what that would look like but I’m still seeing the old pictures from the old theme.
Since I’m wanting to use the pictures from the Lovecraft theme will you go ahead and set my site to Lovecraft for me? Thank you and Happy New Year!

No problem :)
Images and other content will stay in your site when you change themes, which is probably why you’re not seeing what you expected when switching themes.
I’ve applied the default settings from Lovecraft on your site for you – it doesn’t overwrite existing content (unless you’d like us to completely reset the site, removing everything you’ve written/uploaded so far so you can start over).
Because your site already has content of your own that you’ve added, there may be some extra posts/pages from this process – you can edit or delete them as needed!
