Change theme, what can you expect?
You are working on your website for a couple of weeks now, perhaps a lot longer, and you are NOT comfortable with the theme you choose. It's easy to change themes, just a few clicks, and you have installed a new theme.
What can you expect?
Not working plugins
You add only plugins to you theme which are compatible, when you change a theme, they can be incompatible with your new theme of choice.
Broken links
Not only broken links can appear, but also linked text and linked pictures can be vanish. You need to check-up all your links.
Wrong dispayed pictures
Pictures can be jumping up-to-the-right or left and not there where you placed them on your old theme.
Wrong displayed headlines
Sometimes the headlines are displayed incorrectly.
No header image
The header size is often different measured, so your header picture can be displayed wrong or even missing at all. You need to re-do.
No Icon
Your site icon often needs to be installed again.
My advice
When you are NOT comfortable with your theme? Change it as soon as possible!
The sooner you change, the fewer adjustments you have to make!

Recently, I bought a very popular and well-known theme. I was delighted. However, when I'd tried to upload to my website, the theme turned to be a big size, and I had to use an FTP software to install it. However, another problem started to pop up as well. Now, I've learned to stick with a theme I feel comfortable to use.
Yes yes you are right ...Having lots of broken links on my blog after changing my blog theme ...am trying to redirect all and some I fixed it.
Thank you very much

Great advice Loes! I changed my theme yesterday and am working hard to get it all back to my standards again, so doing it as soon as possible is the best way!
