How do I select and install a theme

I your theme menu, there are several options:


  1. Featured: shows you several wordpress themes. Most of them are simple and easy to use.
  2. Popular: shows the most popular themes. Most of them have good reputation.
  3. Latest: shows all new themes.
  4. Favorites: are all themes marked as favorite
  5. Feature filter: Add a filter like business, woo commerce, magazine, blog, design,...
  6. If you know the theme by name, you can search the theme in the search theme bar.

If you opt for a professional theme, they will provide a download on their site. You can upload this file with the upload theme on top of the screen.

Once you have selected a theme, install, activate and customize your theme.

Customization depends from theme to theme

I think about this from time to time but I already paid for the Pro version of the theme I have so I'm reluctant to change it. Will give it more thought as there are functions that I would like to have in my theme that I currently don't have.

Yes... right

Better go for light version first. So you can test it. And then buy if ok. And even then, growing into our site, may need new functions indeed.

The changes is easy BUT the decision making of choosing the right theme for my niche is difficult. Too many choices to choose from. At times we think that we have chosen the right theme but as time goes, we realized that the theme does not suit or apply what we wanted to be. That's the problem in choosing a perfect theme.

Just learn through mistakes and hopefully will get all things right.

God bless,
Agnes

Yes Agnes... most difficult part.
You can try to use the filter feature in you theme menu... and see what comes up

For a good choice a theme needs to be Responsive (adaptive to all devices) and light and easy to adapt.

This is a good resume: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2014/12/what-to-consider-when-choosing-a-wordpress-theme/

Hope it helps

Thanks so much, Fleeky. I shall go through it. Hopefully I'll be able to find the right theme and most importantly, user friendly for the potential traffic to browse through.

Whenever am in doubt, I shall seek your advice on this matter.
Hope this will not be too much trouble for you.

God Bless,
Agnes
