BAD CODING breaks sites.
If you pay someone to create a theme.
Then that is what they do.
If you change your mind half way through the creation.
And want a different theme.
Be prepared to have to pay for another theme.
As well as the work on the original.
Lets take a look at how a theme works ( code wise ).
Regardless of weather it is just a basic color scheme.
Or if images are involved.
It is basically a self contained folder, containing :-
Header layout ( the top and right side configuration )
Footer layout ( the bottom and right side configuration )
CSS file ( for color, images, font ETC changes )
Image folder ( if the theme uses images )
Theme Function file (if extra functions are required to display the theme)
You add this folder to your themes folder
Add the name and ID to your data base table for your themes.
Then select the theme from your profile.
Then one of 2 things will happen.
The theme works or it does not.
It does not break your site
EDIT
Before you add any new code to a live site.
You add it to your test site ( usually on local host on your home PC )
And run tests to make sure it works first.
That is called Common sense.
If you lack the above sense.
You should not be running a tracker.
End Edit
I am a Cabinet Maker ( Carpenter ) by trade.
If you paid me to build you a grey TV display unit.
Then half way through building.
You changed the design and color.
You would pay for the materials and time spent on the first unit.
And pay for the same thing on the second one.
And when your TV breaks down.
Do not blame my display unit for causing it to break down.
That is not scamming - it is called real life.
