If you are not currently on the Manage Themes page in your wp-admin, please go there now. Click on the Themes link in the Appearance panel on the left (figure 2.0).

The Manage Themes Page

Once you are on the Manage Themes page, you will see your Current Theme at the top and then every Available Theme you have installed below. If you do not see the theme you are looking for, please make sure that the theme installation was successful.

If you do see the theme you wish to activate in the Available Themes, all you have to do is click on the Activate link (figure 2.0) located below the theme’s screenshot. You can also Preview or Delete a theme by clicking on the appropriate link.
