 * sounds more like a webserver problem than a WordPress problem.
 * try contacting your web host about it.

 * But the host ppl are telling that this is an issue with the wordpress..
    this
   is the reply i got from them
 * “”””Thank you for contacting our Technical Support Department.
 * I have investigated this problem for you and I ahev not faced any problem to 
   change your current WordPress theme to default one via WordPress admin panel.
   In this situation I would advise to try to install other theme for your blog.
   If the problem still persist from your end, please contact WordPress moderators
   in their forum regarding this issue:
 * > [Support Forums](https://wordpress.org/support/)
 * Because we do not offer third party software support.
    Moreover I can assure 
   you that we do not have any server side problems for the present time which can
   be the reason for this issue.
 * Please let us know if you have any further questions or problems.
 * Best Regards,
    Max “”””
 * Kindly help…
