    WP nagged me to upgrade software and I accidentally clicked on it then everything changed. I couldn't find the new theme button and there is no way I can upload the theme I saved in my pc. What is wrong people? I completely dislike this new wp version
    software because everything has changed. Is there any way I can Roll back to the previous version of WP or how can I change theme. Now I used to do it but now The buttons are not there!! Help me somebody.

    Have you tried going to Appearance> Themes? Were you able to back up your website before upgrading? If you were, then you can re-upload your website.

    I found the button after many hrs of searching to find answer. It is right in the backoffice upper tab. When you click on appearance then a dropdown menu in the upper center bar appears. Do not click to drop down menu but click on the INSTALL tab itself. Then the usual upload add new.... menu appears. OOhhh Relieved.

    I think this appeared due to new wp software upgrade and me creating multiple sites with subdomains. Though I created the subdomain I did not create a page in it.
