Why isn't my theme showing up?

What comments do you have at the top of your style.css file?

Hi Stringalong

Where did you download the theme?
Can you see the theme at wp-admin > Appearance > Themes?

I see in your web it is made in wordpress.com. If it is so, it is not the forum. Your forum is https://en.forums.wordpress.com/

Before you post, make sure you’re posting about a self hosted www.ads-software.com site and NOT a WordPress.com site. If you’re not sure, read WordPress.com vs www.ads-software.com.

Thanks for your responses, Andrew, keesimajier, and ferchup. I’ll go to the forum ferchup says I need to. Andres, I don’t understand your question, and, keesiemeijer, I don’t know the answer to your question or how to find out where I downloaded the theme — but I do know that it was shown as one of the free themes that I was supposed to choose from, from WordPress, when I first set up the website.

Your welcome. I dont know wordpress.com, but I suppose you dont understand the questions of Stringalong or keesiemeijer because these questions only have sense in www.ads-software.com.

Yeah, try the WordPress dot com forums

@ferchup Good catch!

Thanks again, ferchup and keesiemeijer. And by the way, keesiemeijer, why does WordPress have two different tags/forms of websites? i.e. dot come and dot org? I have wasted a lot of time trying to get info on the dot org forum WordPress listed in a search. What I needed, as you say, was the dot com one. Also, as you see, my website is dot net, a choice I was given between that and dot org when I first set it up. This is very confusing and difficult.

There’s two different software that has the same “WordPress” name; one that was built and is managed by ‘Automattic’ and one that is built, managed and supported by volunteers. The volunteered software is an open source project.

WordPress.com = Automattic
www.ads-software.com = Open source

Thanks, Andrew.
