why does my theme doesn't look the same once i uploaded it?
-
i chose the theme imbalance 2 for a new blog but it looks completely different once i uploaded it.
in the original theme the menues and all the lists are below the posts in the front page and when i upload it they are on the left side of the page and you have to scroll down in order to see the posts. how can i change it? i realy wanted this theme but this way it’s no use for me

I believe this may be an issue with the RTL version of the theme. If you switch your blog’s language to English via Settings -> General, does it display as intended?
-
No it doesn’t, the long list of catagories etc’ just moves from left to right, not below the posts as it should be.
-
Oh, I see what you’re referring to. The long list is actually how the theme is designed. See the demo at http://imbalance2demo.wordpress.com/
-
the demo is different; the list is divided to top and bottom but in my case the list is either left or right and the posts are below, you see a blank page unless you scroll down

You’ll need to build your menus at Appearance -> Menus.
Your theme has two menu areas, Primary is on the left, and Secondary is on the right.
See this for more info and video tutorial: http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

When you are in your Menus option in your Dashboard, you can click the check boxes next to the items on the left (such as your Categories) that you wish to add to your menu. Once you have items in the main Menu field, you can then drag and drop them to reorder them, or stagger them to create drop down menus.
Keep in mind that if you select menus in your “Theme Locations” area of the Menus screen, this will override the default menu option, and your theme will be looking for those menus to replace the ones that are built automatically.

You need to create the menu first at Appearance -> Menus, then the checkboxes will appear and you can add items to it.

Ah, I must have been looking at the wrong blog.
In the Categories box to the left, you should see checkboxes next to each category (at least, I do). Just check the desired categories, and click “Add to Menu”
If you don’t see those, please try a different browser, like Firefox or Chrome.

-
Would you please take a screenshot of what you see and upload it via Media -> Add New in your blog’s Dashboard?
-
-
On that page, take a look at the Screen Options tab near the top-right and make sure that you have at least “Categories” checked.
-
It just added another menu, didn’t erase the side one.
I give up, will change the theme. please let those who need to know that the information on this theme is misguided and very unfirendly to use
