Title: Theme doesn't work Last modified: September 1, 2016 --- # Theme doesn't work * Resolved [morbidcuriosity](https://wordpress.org/support/users/morbidcuriosity/) * (@morbidcuriosity) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-doesnt-work-8/) * Hi! * I just installed this nice theme, but it doesn’t work. No matter what I set in customizer, it still looks like casual page of newest posts with name of page in header and search icon. No slider, no widgets, no CTA or anything. What can I do?
