   Just installed WP.
   Want to redesign my existing website with WP.
   When I click view site in WP/dashboard my old(existing) website shows up instead of the default WP theme "Kubrik".
   How do I get the default theme to show up instead, so that I start learning WP ?
   Thank you
   Cyrus

   Hi esmi,
   I installed WP with JustHost, that's where my oldwebsite is hosted.

   He means what directory such as

   yourhosting/yourdomain <---- root directory

   or is it some place else like

   yourhosting/yourdomain/blog.........

   your post is very unclear, but have you tried to change the theme under the appearance tab? A lot of host preinstall a lot of themes, maybe you just need to change it.

   Just stating the obvious because I do not know what you are really trying to accomplish or what you have dont to try and change the theme

   I did change themes, but my old website still shows up.
   WP was installed in my root directory /public-html.same place I use to upload my old site.

   Oh - that was such a bad place to install WP. Ideally you should have installed in a sub-folder off public_html. Can you remove it and re-install?
