WP Themes "improved" aka messed up

  Regarding Themes: WP made a change to how we can view new themes. Gone are the days when you can try a new theme on for size seeing how it looks with YOUR OWN content. Now we only get “demo”—which uses WP’s canned content ONLY— and activate. I hope they change it back, meanwhile I made a post about it: http://wtfaioa.wordpress.com/2015/01/02/wp-themes-when-did-they-screw-it-up/

  While changes have been made to the dashboard, etc. few of them are actual improvements. The changes are clunky and less intuitive and WP wasn’t all that intuitive to begin with.

  Stop fixing things that aren’t broken!

  When you view the “themes” area of your dashboard, you should still be able to click “preview” for any theme and see it previewed with your content.

  If that is NOT working for you, could you give me a little more information on what browser you are using and perhaps set up a screenshot of the preview you are seeing?
