Brand New Installation on Windows 8.1 – Themes do not appear

  • I have just downloaded…

    A) xampp-win32-5.6.3-0-VC11-installer.exe

    B) bitnami-wordpress-4.1.1-0-module-windows-installer

    Did clean install of A) then B) on a well-configured new windows 8.1 desktop PC. Using /localhost

    I go into dashboard>appearance>themes

    and the three themes there all appear as bland and white with no layout, no pictures etc. How do I make the themes work please?

    Cheers,
    Brad

  • OK but I didn’t add anything to Twenty Thirteen either and it behaves as I think a new user would expect.

    That’s because there is really nothing ‘custom’ there other than the header graphic ??

    I totally agree with you Brad, and that is why there are so many ‘help the WP beginner’ sites and vids out there … it’s a big market! ??

    That said, IMHO, the fine folk that ‘make’ WP try to make it as ‘universal’ as possible, but as with any technical endeavor, it always makes ‘total sense’ to the person(s) who are in the know and will quite possibly look like ‘gibberish’ to those who are not ??
