In this video, I'm going to show you how
0:02
you can change or add a new WordPress
0:04
theme for your website or for your blog.
0:07
If you find this video helpful, I'll
0:09
kindly request that you support me by
0:10
liking the video and also by subscribing
0:12
to my channel. All right, let's get into
0:14
it. So, the first thing you need to do
0:17
is to go and log into your WordPress
0:19
dashboard. And once you are on your
0:21
dashboard, you can use these features
0:24
under this left column here to be able
0:27
to look for a new theme and add it or
0:30
apply it. So I like to go ahead and look
0:32
for a theme so that I can change or I
0:36
can apply to my website. So if you don't
0:38
have any theme or if you just want to
0:40
change the current theme that you are
0:41
using, you can simply do this following
0:44
this process. To get started, go ahead
0:46
and look for the option called
0:47
appearance. It is down here and under it
0:50
choose the first option called themes.
0:52
Now under themes you will be able to see
0:54
the current theme here once it opens
0:57
that you are using. You can see I'm
0:59
currently using this color mag theme and
1:01
it is currently active on my website.
1:04
That's why you can see it is active.
1:06
However, we still have quite a number of
1:08
themes that I can use on my website. So
1:11
you can scroll and see some of the
1:14
themes available. But the problem is
1:15
mostly these are the WordPress default
1:19
themes that normally comes with your
1:20
WordPress website when you create it for
1:23
the first time. And it's good to go
1:24
ahead and look for a suitable theme that
1:26
you would like to replace with these
1:28
default WordPress themes that are
1:30
normally automatically added to your
1:32
website whenever you create it. Now if
1:34
you want to change your theme, you can
1:37
use this option called here add theme to
1:41
add or to search for any suitable theme
1:44
that you so wish. So if I go ahead and
1:46
click on add theme, this will go ahead
1:49
and display a variety of themes that are
1:52
currently available that I can install
1:55
and start using. As you can see here, I
1:58
have already installed quite a number of
2:00
themes like these. All these this is the
2:02
one I'm currently using. However, I also
2:04
have installed this. This is 2025 theme.
2:08
It is available 2024 and these are all
2:11
WordPress themes that are normally added
2:13
each and every year. However, if you
2:15
just want something that is unique or is
2:18
related to your website, go ahead and
2:20
scroll through all these themes here and
2:24
identify the one that you wish. If you
2:27
can't see the theme that you so wish,
2:29
you can also go ahead and just search
2:31
for it. And to search for any theme, if
2:34
you can't see it on this list, it is
2:37
quite simple. You can just use this
2:39
search option here. And remember, most
2:42
of these themes are just free. You can
2:44
use them for free. You don't have to pay
2:45
anything unless you want to use their
2:47
pro version. So, if you go ahead and use
2:51
the search function here, you can search
2:53
for any theme. For instance, let me
2:55
search for Sydney. That is another
2:57
popular theme. You can see here it is.
3:00
This is the Sydney theme. So, you can go
3:02
ahead and install it or before install
3:05
it, you can go ahead and click on
3:07
preview details so that you can see how
3:10
it will look like or how it looks like
3:13
before you can install it. And you can
3:15
see by default, this is how it looks
3:18
like. If you're not comfortable with it,
3:20
you can still go ahead and sample
3:22
through these popular themes that are
3:24
available on the market. And this you
3:27
can see we have like this. If you want
3:30
news event, we have this theme. You can
3:33
click on it and see how it will appear
3:36
whenever or when you install it or when
3:39
you activate it on your website. So you
3:42
can look at that. You can see how this
3:45
will appear. This is the display and the
3:47
formatting. So go through all of them
3:49
and find the suitable one or if you have
3:52
a specific one you can just as well go
3:54
ahead and click on it or select it for
3:57
you to start using. Look at how this
3:59
will look like. If you are okay with it
4:01
you can choose it. Now it is good to
4:04
know that the way it appears here that's
4:07
how it will appear on your website. The
4:09
only thing you need to do is to replace
4:11
the content that comes or the default
4:14
content that comes with this theme with
4:16
your own content or you just change the
4:19
categories that are here with your own
4:21
categories and you won't lose the
4:23
formatting for this. For instance, you
4:26
have here nails day. If you want this
4:28
format,
4:30
you can choose this. And to do so, you
4:33
will have to go ahead and first install.
4:35
For instance, if I go ahead and click on
4:37
install, this will go ahead and install
4:40
this theme on my WordPress website. And
4:42
once it is installed, you can go ahead
4:44
and activate. Or if you want to activate
4:46
later, it's still okay. You can still
4:48
come back under appearance and then
4:50
themes. And here you will see all the
4:52
themes that you installed. You can see
4:54
this is the current or the latest theme
4:56
that I have just installed. To activate
4:59
and start using it, go ahead and click
5:01
on activate. For my case, I'll not
5:03
activate it because I don't want to
5:05
change the theme. So, that's how you
5:07
find and install a theme on your website
5:10
and then edit it. Just change the parts
5:12
or everything messaging and all the
5:14
sections to suit your interest. So, if
