Does a theme change in WordPress affect the SEO and Google ranking?
I haven't found that to be the case and I've changed my theme twice. I've been trying to get a faster load speed.
Astra is a great Wordpress free theme.

have you checked out blocksy theme....
pretty good and flexible for a free theme....
loads of features...
someone compared it to generatepress and blocksy won...( not suprised)
phil
i haven't speed tested blocksy yet...
if it affects your sitespeed it will lower your rankings slightly ...
other factors may come into play and your rankings may wobble for a bit but stabilise around where they were....
ideally you pick a theme that improves your site.....
good luck
phil
note you may have some reformatting to do as different themes don't just pick up everything from your old theme...

Hi everyone, does a change of a wordpress theme affect the seo?

Hi, as per Live Chat, it should not.
Your content remains intact, you may loose out on some styles CSS, however with a bit of tweaking, and you're done.
We always recommend you leave a back up, you can do with the Twenty TwentyOne.

Author and date are not showing in my posts, can anyone help?
Are you posting using a new theme? If so see if it has settings for Meta Author and Meta Date in its settings. Make sure they are checked for them to show. Also, make sure you are publishing as a post since some themes only show this on posts which is where 99% of your content should be published.
