    Hello. I have a wordpress.org website (www.whatmywifeeats.com) and having trouble with the themes. Any time I activate a new theme, only the font of the blog title changes; everything else stays the same. Any advice on this? I am exasperated. Many thanks in advance!!

    That’s not something core would do.

    This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins, and switch to the default Twenty Twenty theme. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of the problem.

    If you can install plugins, install Health Check. On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, without affecting normal visitors to your site.

    Suggest that you try and install a theme manually. That is:
    – download the theme .zip file
    – extract it on your own computer
    – upload it to your hosting using FTP, possibly FILEZILLA
    – login as administrator on your WordPress and activate the theme.

    Reasons that the WordPress is unable to install its own new themes include having the wrong file and directory permissions.
