I am not able to change wordpress theme

  • I’m having trouble changing my WordPress theme. Every time I try, it just reverts back to the old one. I’ve checked my settings, but can’t figure out what’s wrong.

    Has anyone else dealt with this issue? Would love some advice!

    What happens if you disable your caching plugin(s)?

    If the theme change isn’t persisting, it could be because of plugin conflicts that override the theme settings. You can try deactivating the plugins to see which plugin might have conflicts with your theme.

    If this doesn’t work, you can try these fixes:

    1. Verify that your user role has the correct capabilities. The Administrator role has the switch_themes capability which should be present here.
    2. Inspect your wp_options table and search for these option_name values: template and stylesheet. The option_value for these should match the folder name of your new theme when activated. You can try to update these values and see if the new theme activates.
    3. Check if your host uses server-side caching. In their control panel, you can try to temporarily disable caching, and also clear your Browser cache.
