Troubleshooting

Theme Not Applying

  2. Clear browser cache completely
  3. Check custom CSS for conflicts
  4. Verify logo/images are compatible with new theme

Dark Mode Not Working

  1. Check browser/system dark mode settings
  2. Verify theme supports dark mode (all LIVCK themes do)
  3. Clear cache and reload
  4. Test in incognito/private browsing mode
