Newbie Question: Health check reports no WordPress default theme
6 replies · Started by Ed on May 8, 2019
Hi Folks,
Newbie question. Bluehost is my hosting provider. Installed WordPress and GeneratePress Premium theme. When I run a site health check, it reports that there's no default theme. Any suggestions for a default theme to be used as a backup for GeneratePress?
Have a default theme available Security
Themes add your site’s look and feel. It’s important to keep them up to date, to stay consistent with your brand and keep your site secure.
Your site has 1 installed theme, and it is up to date.
Your site does not have any default theme. Default themes are used by WordPress automatically if anything is wrong with your normal theme.
Hi there,
GP Premium is a plugin which requires the free GeneratePress theme to work:

Let me know if this helps :)
Thanks, Leo! Yes - GP Premium version 1.8.2 is the one installed theme.
However, the site health check seems to be complaining about no default theme in case problems occur with the GP Premium theme.
Any suggestions?

Hi Ed. Just ignore the message. But if it bothers you, just install the 2019 theme by WordPress.
Leo. Yes - the GeneratePress theme is installed and active.
I solved the problem by installing the WordPress default theme, Twenty Nineteen. All set now.
Thanks, Epic! Problem solved by installing WordPress default theme, Twenty Nineteen.
