 * Hi,
 * So I started building my first website, and chose the default on WordPress theme
   called twentyfourteen.
 * However I soon realised it didn’t suite the purpose and previewed a few and then
   activated the Activate theme by clicking on the activate button.
 * I then created a few new pages and a new posting, making sure these were published
   and viewable by the public.
 * However when I went to my site, the front page was the old twentyfourteen theme,
   but if I clicked on the link “Welcome to Anything with chocolate” (originally
   designed as an “About” page), then the new theme would appear (albeit without
   the top level menu which should also appear).
 * Can anyone help?
 * Thanks Paris45

 * Maybe you have a caching plugin, can you link your site?

 * Hi, Thanks,
 * The link to my site is [http://www.anythingwithchocolateisbetter.com](http://www.anythingwithchocolateisbetter.com)
 * I don’t know much about website development, but if you can help, that would 
   be great.
 * This is what the page looks like in preview via the wordpress editing area, and
   should like on the public or “live site” (but doesn’t) [http://anythingwithchocolateisbetter.com/?page_id=62](http://anythingwithchocolateisbetter.com/?page_id=62)

 * Although the menu doesn’t appear as it should even via this link [http://anythingwithchocolateisbetter.com/?page_id=62](http://anythingwithchocolateisbetter.com/?page_id=62)
 * I should also add the new theme I want is called Accelerate (not activate).
 * Thanks

 * Sorry I’m not sure I understand your issue, you are seeing the Twenty Fourteen
   theme on some pages?

 * Hi there,
 * The website seems to be working much better now, the only error now is the double
   ups of some of the widgets (search and archives) I think this just needs a fiddle
   though 🙂
