 * I could be considered a confounded nuisance and that I can understand however,
   don’t want to be a nuisance and am keen to learn so if you can and are willing
   to help me I will be very grateful and if not, I will understand.
    Problem. I
   want to change the theme I am currently using on my web site [http://ifieldparish.org](http://ifieldparish.org)
   to one called Longevity. I have got so far and prepared the new theme but do 
   not know how to activate it so it shows up on line and replaces my old one. I
   have found a “Change” button at the top of the dash board but am not sure whether
   I should click that or what to do. I know its a matter of learning WP and if 
   I don’t know what I am doing I could well ruin my existing site and all that,
   but if no one will help me, how am I going to learn so, help please. RonB80

 * seems to be fixed – your site is running the theme ‘logevity’;

 * Hi Michael,
    Thank you for your response, much appreciated. As you say, the site
   is using Longevity which is fine however, it looks to me that in my dashboard
   I still have all the settings for the Charis theme which was the one I was using
   originally. I have downloaded Longevity on my computer but must confess, I am
   quite confused as I would like to make some alterations to the header layout 
   of Longevity e.g., move “Parish Pictures to a more centre position but how to
   do that is another problem.

 * Thank you for your last reply Michael. I have printed the item you sent the link
   for and will sit and digest. Unfortunately, I have yet to find out where to find
   responses I receive from those trying to my requests for help. No doubt, if you
   have been using WP regularly, it all comes easy but to a novice it is a nightmare.
   I just wish WP would consider the not so clever users, it would make life a lot
   easier. Perhaps they don’t want us to use it at all?
    Best wishes, RonB85
