I've asked this question a few times to try to get help, and I can't get an answer. How do I change a theme to a theme on WA? I have my site, but I don't like the theme. I want
Hi - as a premium member, you have the choice of over 7000 themes here at WA! When in WordPress, go to Appearance, then themes. If you don't see the full selection, click "add new".
Once you have chosen a theme, click install, then activate. Do be aware, that it won't look exactly as pictured in the demo. That just gives an indication of how it could look, once you have customised it, with your own images etc.
I would like a WA theme, not a theme from outside WA. When I click on ADD NEW, I only see 15 additional themes. I'm a premium member. I want to be able to choose from the 7000 we have here, not the few I can choose from within WP. Thanks.
I see now that I was only under FEATURED. I see there are other options in the menu. Thank you.

Leo has a great training on this: WordPress Dashboard Tutorial - Themes Looking at your comments below, I also wanted to clarify that there are no specific WA themes. There are some which are featured when you build your site, but they were not created by WA.
You'll have access to the entire body of WordPress themes by following the training above. There are also many more "premium" themes available out there, but those cost money. They are not required to purchase, but you can consider it at a later point.
Premium themes typically have more features and better design, but not always!

Here is how to change link colors: Custom CSS: Change Link Colors Site-Wide Here is how to change themes: WordPress Dashboard Tutorial - Themes Both options available have advantages and disadvantages! Changing themes requires less time and is less complicated. However, changing the link color means you get to keep your current theme that you like, and you get to learn something new!
Hey Diana!
I saw you had a helpful response below, and that you found a plug-in to make the change you are looking for.
Just wanted to add two things:
1. The link colors are pre-set in the theme editor, and are not always changeable (without code), just as other styling preferences are varied between themes.
2. As a Premium member, you have access to about 4000 themes. So if you find you are having to change a lot of things to get the style you want, it would be wise to select a different theme. Each time you add a plug-in, it may affect your site speed. You can always test each one, but that adds a whole nother task. If this was the only thing that bothered you, then it's probably fine to continue with the theme you're using, but if something else comes up, I'd browse through the theme selection and look for a change.
Happy building!
Cris
Thank you for your response. How do I apply a different theme within WA? I can't figure out how to do that? I've asked this before, but no one has told me how. Thanks again!
Very easy...
Login to your site. Go to appearance ---> themes ---> and click on "Add New" to search new themes.
You can "preview" before making any actual change to see if you like it before switching.
So if you don't find one you like right away, no worries! Nothing is changed until you change it.
There are a LOT of cool themes out there. I hope you find the one that's just right for your niche :-)
Also, I just saw that ja114 below mentioned using the filters. This is very helpful, as it would take you forever to just randomly scroll through all the themes!
To pick a new theme, go into Wordpress, select Themes from the left side, and then click the "Add New" button at the top. Then you can narrow it down with the feature filter at the top, or click on the groupings next to it to see featured, popular, etc. themes.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say only have color options for theme colors... I am surprised that it doesn't let you change the color of link text, just because mine does and I'm still using one of the themes that are available to starter members, so I figured it was a pretty bare-bones theme.
This is most likely how your theme is set up by default, but it probably can be changed. In Wordpress, go to Appearance/Customize, then select Colors, then Content (at least that's where it's located for my theme). Assuming it's the same for your theme, you'll see options to set the color for headings, regular text, links, etc.
Hope this helps.
I only have color options for theme colors. Please tell me which theme to use to get full features. Thank you.

Right now I have a copyrighted image on my home page as a placeholder for the future. Today I took a picture to replace it. I'm having a very difficult time importing it into W
The image might be too large. Check the pixel size. If it's anything over 2,000px wide it's probably too big.
It could also be the wrong format. iPhone uses a new HEIC thing, and there are other unsupported formats. Make sure it's JPG or PNG.
The picture won't import. That's the problem. It's not the tagging and everything else. Thanks anyway.
