    I originally uploaded a theme that worked perfectly and featured both a home page and an about page. After encountering some problems unrelated to the theme – I reinstalled WordPress and the theme. Now I only have the home page. Anyone else run into this problem? How did you resolve?
    thanks! julie

    FTP/re-upload everything in your theme folder. If it was there before then it should be there again unless you deleted your theme files in your computer as well.

    The about page isn’t generally a file in a theme, it’s a page written in wordpress admin. Did you rewrite your about page when you reinstalled wordpress?

    @julieabarnes – May also want to let us know where to download the theme if you continue this thread.

    You missed a point it is: wordpress generates all the content and pages on the fly, i.e. it keeps no static pages as our other static websites do it keeps the data in the database and generates the pages on the fly.

    So when you reinstalled your wordpress all your data got lost, the about page which you said is on your installation is inbuilt page which comes with installation.

    So write the pages again which you need, then they will be available to you to use.~~~~
