    Hi there!

    I have downloaded WordPress on Localhost, everything worked fine until I wanted to download a theme.

    With almost every theme I download, and when I click to preview my site, it says: “page not found”, also there are 0 pages in my dashboard when I download the themes.
    It only shows the “example page” and the “privacy policy page” (as concept).

    It also shows alot of Blog features which I DONT want.

    What am I doing wrong? This is the first time I work on Localhost, and normal when I already have a host, it works good, but have to do it on Localhost now.

    Greetings,
    jeroen

    Place the theme in the themes folder manually on localhost

    Hi Jeroen. Are you trying to download and install via the WordPress dashboard? If this isn’t working, I suggest downloading the theme to your computer and then extracting to the themes folder, which would be your_wordpress > wp-content > themes. The start of the path will depend on how you have it set up, but if you can navigate to your WP folder, you’ll find wp-content within it and then themes within that. Once there, go back to the WP dashboard > appearance > themes and activate your theme.

    Let me know if this way doesn’t work.

    @lvg2013 Yes it worked, but I had to download Demo Importer or something, to download the demo. Now I have the same page as the demo, but why is this different as when I use a host and just download theme etc.
