@ Sidney:

It doesn’t matter your age, and it is never a good thing to share such information with a stranger online. As for choosing a theme, just follow the instructions and choose. It’s that easy. If you don’t like it, try another.

@ chickadee74:

My advice is to not write with caps. It’s considered rude on the web and email.

Also, I don’t understand your question. If you are downloading any WordPress Theme, not a template nor a CSS template, the CSS and HTML are built into the Theme, as well as the graphics. If things are messing up, then you are not doing something right.

If you are purchasing WordPress Theme “stuff” then you are paying too much. There are thousands of WordPress Themes and Plugins that are totally free, very powerful, and will work right out of the box, so to speak. If you are paying for anything, you have to go to the author or developer and ask them for help. You are paying for their support.

See Using WordPress Themes for instructions on how to install and use WordPress Themes.

This really sucks. I can only use the templates that word press offers. If I download a css template it messes it up even though I purchased the extra stuff. I dont know what to do. Any advice?

@ Moin:

If you think buying a Theme is going to get you a better “bug free” Theme, I got a bridge for sale in Florida you can buy.

The problem could be that the Theme is old and not enabled for widgets. Get the WordPress Widgets Plugin to convert the Theme into something that will accept Widgets or contact the author and get the updated version, or just get a free Theme that has been widgetized. I recommend you get a widgetized Theme as it will be the most updated. There are thousands of free Themes to choose from.

For the past few years, people added Plugins and code to their WordPress Theme without Widgets, so you could also try doing it yourself.

First of all, very nice blog Lorelle.. I’m sorry, I never posted a comment or anything but I do read it regularly or when I get time..

The problem I’m facing is that the right side bar is kind of attached to the theme and I can’t add any widget! when I do, the whole side bar is gone.. Same goes for the header and footer :S

I was thinking of buying a new theme instead to get rid of all these bugs or if you have a better idea to fix it? I’d appreciate it!

Regards,
MoiN
