• I have just started using wordpress and as I go through the themes that I like, their appearance in my website is not the same as the samples shown. They don’t show the pictures and the structure seems different. When I introduce a picture, it is shown in a different area of the web. What can I do to be able to see a theme as it looks originally?

  • Hey,

    Many themes show you how they would look, and what is possible, when they are full of content. And, unless the theme specifically has an option of installing ‘demo content’, you will need to re-create and/or figure it out yourself.

    Many good themes come with some support and guides to help with this.

    Thank you!
    One more question: Is it possible to change the title’s font?

    Yes.

    If the theme has a ‘theme options’ section in wp-admin (many do) you can change it there. If not, you will need to override the original css with your own stylesheet.

    If there are other changes you would like to make it might best to create a child theme if you can. Otherwise your changes will be lost when the theme is updated.

    Thank you again!
    Actually I have changed my theme to a new one and it’s a child theme. But now I’d like to change the picture that is there by default for another one I have and it seems that you can’t do that. Can you?

    You should be able to update any images in the normal way.

    However, if an image url is hardcoded into a template or the style.css file, you could change it there. Make sure you change the child theme files, not the parent theme ??

    Yes, it seems that it’s hardcoded into the template but how do I change it? I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find the solution. There is no header option to remove it as in other templates.

    Copy the appropriate template file from the parent theme (eg. header.php) and place it in your child theme folder, then edit that.

    Thank you. I finally used another template and everything has worked fine. I’m new in this as you can see, so I have a lot of questions but I’m getting by.

    Great, good luck with your site! ??
