 * I have downloaded a new theme to install, but when I click on “Upload Theme”,
   nothing happens. I checked the Chrome browser to make sure popups or other functions
   are not blocked, and that seems to be good to go. Just a bit stumped.
 * Thanks in advance for any assistance.

 * Hello [@gunnyret](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gunnyret/),
 * You may have a **plugin** or **theme** **conflict**.
 * Please attempt to **disable** all plugins, and use one of the **default** (Twenty*)
   themes. If the problem goes **away**, enable the **plugins** one by one to identify
   the **source** of your troubles.
 * If you can install plugins, **install** and **activate** **Health Check**: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
   
   It will add a new **feature** under Tools > Site Health. On its **Troubleshooting**
   tab, you can **Enable Troubleshooting Mode**. This mode will **disable** all 
   plugins, **switch** to a standard WordPress theme (if available), **allow** you
   to turn your plugins **on and off**, and **switch** between themes, **without**
   affecting normal visitors to your site. **Following** these **steps** allows 
   you to **test** for various **compatibility** issues.
 * There’s a more **detailed** description about how to use the **Health Check**
   plugin and its **Troubleshooting Mode** at [https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/appendix/troubleshooting-using-the-health-check/](https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/appendix/troubleshooting-using-the-health-check/).

 * I turned off the plugins, and that seems to have allowed me to upload new theme.
   I’ll upload the Health Check next and try to root out the evil-doing plugin.
 * Much appreciated.
