 * I installed a new theme today and when I clicked it to activate it, I get a blank
   page with this at the top after clicking “View Site”:
 * <html xmlns=”[http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&#8221](http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&#8221);
 * Any idea why and how I can fix? Thanks.

 * Guess the theme doesn’t work.
 * Is it for the version of wordpress that you’re using?
 * Have you contacted the theme designer?
 * Did you try reverting back to the previous theme?
