Apply a theme

After you add your theme to the file system, you can apply it to your store. You apply a theme in Admin.

To apply a theme:

In Admin, go to Stores > Configuration > Design.
In the Store View drop-down field, select the store view where you want to apply the theme.
On the Design Theme tab, select your newly created theme in the Design Theme drop-down.
Click Save Config.
If caching is enabled, clear the cache.
To see your changes applied, reload the store front pages.
