Can Only Activate and Live Preview One Default Theme

    This is my third day on WordPress, having just moved over from Joomla.

    I’ve performed a local install to familiarize myself with WP. Everything went well, except that I am only able to Live Preview and activate the Twenty Thirteen theme. The other two simply show the standard Hello World! text on a white background, and a black column on the left with “Recent Posts” etc. The directory structure is as per the standard WP install.

    I’ve spent hours searching for a solution online, without success. My installation details are as follows:

    H:\Server\XAMPP_PHP_5.4.4\xampp\htdocs\mylocalsite
    WordPress 4.0
    XAMPP v.3.0.12
    MYSQL: 5.5.25
    PHP 5.4.4

    Many thanks!

    I think I know what’s happening here. The thumbnails under “Themes” represent what the theme could look like if it were to contain images, however, these images are not included in the theme when it’s activated… one must add one’s own. How was I to know, I come from Joomla! ??
