 * Hi, I think my WP admin sidebar is missing a few functionalities, such as an 
   ability to customize it, select different headers. How can I gain access to those
   tabs? How can I customize the views for my WP admin website (dashboard, edit 
   the tabs display in sidebar, etc.) Do I need to be hosted with WordPress in order
   to have these functionalities?

 * Hi [@lubalexuan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lubalexuan/) ,
 * Can you put a screenshot please?
 * Also, make sure you are logged in as ‘Administrator’ and you haven’t edited any
   user capabilities through any custom code or plugin.

 * The ability to make changes to the theme via admin sidebar interface isn’t universal.
   Some themes have a thorough system, some nothing at all.

 * As @@potentdevelopment noted, this could be due to your active theme not supporting
   these features. Or, perhaps you may not be logged in as an administrator.
 * If you post a screenshot of how your dashboard looks, then that might help

 * I am definitely logged in as an admin. I don’t how to include a screenshot in
   this forum.
 * The theme support includes instructions on switching between headers. They mention
   that I should see a “Headers” tab under “Appearance” tab. I don’t see it there.
 * Is this something I should talk to them about? I assumed that the “Headers” tab
   is included in WordPress Admin functionalities regardless of the theme.

 * This support forum is only for the free and open-source themes available in the
   WordPress.org repository.
 * On the other hand, the theme you are using is a paid theme. Please contact the
   author of that theme for your questions.
