NO THEME WORKS!

Permalink
I have a site setup that every time we try a THEME none of the themes we have tried work. Is there something we need to do to make them work or do you have to spend money to have your site work. I thought C5 was open source and this was so be easy, as of now, not very happy. Someone please help us.

Thanks,
Jay

Hi,
You really don't need to spend anything to make C5 work.

A few questions:
- was the default theme working when you first tried it?
- How exactly did you install the themes you tried?

Yes it was working, we added the theme we wanted to the cart. We then went to design and chose that theme, applied it and nothing worked except the background changed. No buttons, nothing was able to be edited and everything we clicked on to edit that said was editable wasn't.

Hope this helps

Well I visited your website and at the moment, only the default basic theme is applied.
So Either you think you applied the theme but something went wrong or you decided to revert to the default theme in which case I can't really check anything.
So could you apply the theme you said doesn't work and then let me know so I can have a look at what's going on?

Good luck

Hi , you currently have the default theme installed. Have you tried Dashboard>Themes>Activate from the list on the theme you want to install ?

I can still see your site and the theme is now called harvest. You cant see the wording on the left as its the same color as the background. You can create a new nav link using the Auto Nav add on in the Header Nav area.
