How to change themes?

[Lester1]

I've just created my first weebly website but can't find how to change themes.

I did a google search for this and all articles describe a blue bar at the top of the editing page that you can click on 'themes'. However, I  have no blue bar when I'm logged in and editing website.

hi @Lester 

on the 'old' editor its as: the blue bar is actually grey lol

or do u have the new editor experience?

You have the newer editor experience, @Lester, which doesn't support changing themes at the moment. What kind of changes did you want to make? The newer editor has more options for making visual changes that you used to have to switch themes to get.

Hi Adam,

thanks so much for your reply.

I really want to build a website promoting online English classes. However, I think I need it to be a blog or a blog style of website where I can add frequent content.

When I started with weebly yesterday, I was presented with choosing some options for type of website so I chose classes/events and I was only presented with a few default themes to choose from.

I chose one and ended up with this: https://ieltslester.weeblysite.com/

What I really wanted was a theme that would lend itself to this kind of concept: https://ieltsliz.com/ (of course not the same, but something closer to this design concept than what I actually got).

Hmm... I think it would be difficult to do something like that. We are working on blogs for the editor experience you have, although I don't know when that might be completed.  We're also working on themes for this experience, so that will be an option soon. In the meantime, one thing you could do is make an "updates" page and use individual sections for each update.
