Don't see any drop-down menu to change Profile photo, just option to modify bio

Hi again, just did some checking and if you click on the little pic below your big one a little screen will pop up with options - choose which one you want but I suggest you add another one first
Robert

Thank you so much!

No probs, enjoy your Sunday.

Just Add a pic and it will replace the old one though the old one stays as part of your profile.

Step 4 in above instructions says to click on "Delete" link in lower right side. My selected theme has no such option to "Delete" Theme, how to delete?

The basic WordPress themes are the annual tagged ones 2017 being the latest. Themes fall under the CSS Cascading Style Sheet construct which is the backbone of your website. Taking one out is like taking the transmission out of your car. Without a replacement it won't go!

When you delete your theme and don't have an alternative you will have to start from scratch . Make sure you have the other one in place first.

You cannot delete the active theme. To delete any theme, you need to have activated some other theme first.

thank you!

When you click on a theme to select it, you'll find the "Delete" link in the lower right corner of the theme's display page.

I forgot to mention -- You cannot delete the theme that's currently active for your site. You'd first need to activate a different theme and then delete the old one.

Thank you so much, I will try again. One other ques, when I went into my Site panel, it shows two other themes. Did I inadvertently add those when trying to delete the active one?

If I'm not mistaken, there are three, possibly four, themes that are automatically preloaded with any fresh wordpress installation. Those are probably the ones you're seeing.

Thanks again, was able to "delete" those extras that displayed when I went into Site Manager and was able to delete the active theme to another etc. I was looking for the complicated,and the answer was thankfully, more simple, lolz (I take it that anything that was customized/writeups also got deleted along with the theme template.)

Any customizations that you made to the theme's files are gone when you delete the theme. Those changes would also get overwritten whenever the theme gets updates.

If by "writeups" you'referring to website content (pages and posts), no, those don't get deleted. A theme controls how your content is displayed. Deleting a theme or switching themes does not remove content from your site.

Go to appearance -> themes
Select the theme you want to delete and the delete option is bottom right hand corner
