  Hi there,

  There are few things that can happen.

  (1)May be you have just installed it, but didn’t activated it yet and the site is showing the default theme.
  (2)You have to upload theme and then install it and activate it by installing necessary plugins which supports active theme. Thanks! if not delete the theme and reinstall it.

  Let me know if it works !

  Thanks,
  Rahul

  Hi akshaygugnani,

  What is the address of the site you are working on? Custom themes can only be installed on WordPress.com sites using the Business plan — akshaygugnani.wordpress.com is currently using the Free plan.

  If the site uses WordPress.org software with another host, the WordPress.org support forums will be the best place to ask for advice.

  Once I know which site you are having trouble with, I can point you in the right direction.

  To which site are you trying to upload a theme?

  On WordPress.com you need a Business Plan in order to upload third party themes. http://akshaygugnani.wordpress.com/ is on our free plan, so you won’t be able to upload third party themes to that site.
