    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?
