• Hi!

    I’m really helping that somebody can help me.

    For some strange reason, no matter which theme I install, it is significantly different to the actual design. All the images are missing, colours are different, layout ect.

    For example, the theme I have installed at the moment is called ‘Construction Company’, which can be located here: https://demo.raratheme.com/construction-company/

    As you’ll see, it’s nothing like my website: etradesman.co.uk

    It’s not just this theme, but all of them! Plus, I’ve only just installed wordpress.

    Please help!

    What happens if you switched to the default Twenty Nineteen theme?

    Themes aren’t content. You use your own images, colors, and posts. Themes are basically layout. Fill in the bits with your own stuff.

    Thanks for your reply. However, have you seen the layout of the actual theme? There is literally no similarity at all. I have used free themes before for another site of mine, and everything was the same as the theme preview. All I had to do was edit the text/images ect.

    I just changed it to that. Not sure what I’m looking for? It has changed, but not sure its right.

    I don’t know if you’ve changed it again since you posted, but the demo is for construction-company, and you’ve got construction-landing-page.
    We can’t control what the theme uses in its demo (one of the reasons we don’t have theme demos for themes hosted here). Theme authors tend to make the demo look top-notch, but the default settings don’t represent that.

    Then, why are you posting that in the general forums instead of telling them directly in their theme forums?

    Themes often don’t look like their demo content. You have to add your content to make it work.
