Wordpress theme is not showing same to the preview - wordpress

Today i installed Wordpress and install Shapely theme just to get started but result is not as i expected.
I installed many other themes but same result for all.
Can we see result as we saw in the theme preview.

After installing a wordpress theme, you need to activate it. Go in your backend to Design -> Themes and click the blue button at the theme you want to use.
The preview of themes often work with sample data, to show you the functionalities of the theme. So the theme does not look the same, if you do not have the same content.
There can demo content be downloaded for most themes. I checked the name of your theme:
https://colorlib.com/wp/support/shapely/
under 2. Import Shapely demo content and widget content. there is a link to download demo content and a description how to get it into your wordpress site.
For other themes, just search for the theme name and add "demo content", "dummy data" or something like this. It could be the case for some themes (often low priced), that do not offer a demo content. So you need to read through the documentation of the theme to build it like in the demo.
Hope this helps.

Changing Footer text in magazine pro theme wordpress

I want to change the footer text and add my website name in it, how could I do so? I am using Magazine Pro Theme on Wordpress.
Normally pro themes provide documentation for customizing it. You can find there the changing option. You can also check the theme option for that.
I hope you will get your answer.
I must be present somewhere in the theme customizer. In mostly themes footer text will present in theme customizer under footer option
If you don't find the code in the theme customizer, then another method is to change it from the footer.php file. First of all, login to your WordPress dashboard and visit Appearance » Theme Editor from the left sidebar of your WordPress dashboard. On the right side, you'll see different theme files. From here open the Theme Footer file (footer.php).
Check this image
Now you can change the footer text from here. But before changing it, save the backup of code for restoration in case if you change the wrong code. If you still face any issues, send me the code which is present in footer.php and I'll guide you which code you have to change.

Wordpress Post doesn't look like theme

I downloaded a Theme called Neverland for my post area. I have two themes, one for the landing page (that I've created myself with html/css and javascript) and another for the blog. this neverland will be on the blog page. I also have a plugin for multiple themes.
The thing is that my blog page looks perfect, but once I open one blog post, it still uses the old layout. I want all my posts to have the look and feel of the new theme. How can I achieve this? thanks!
First of all at a time you can't use two themes, Only one theme you can use it.
If you install and activate the neverland theme then only neverland theme's
desing will be worked.
However I'm sending you a link here you can find the option to understand how to set up neverland theme. Here you can see the demo.xml file import part. You can import the demo file of neverland and see the single post

When I quickly did a Google search, I found that Travern WordPress theme is from Theme Forest.
The Travern theme only includes PHP Files, HTML Files, CSS Files and JS Files during purchase and not the image files. If you're still unsure, you can check out the theme's support page and contact the theme author on your query. This should you help you resolve your query.

Updated answer
for Custom Background: http://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Backgrounds
you need to add theme supports
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_theme_support
for widgets http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_sidebar
Actually play around with twentyten or twentyeleven and you'll see the codes in there.
most are in the functions.php, then sidebar.php
Happy Coding :)
Are you sure you're currently logged user is an Administrator?
if yes, maybe there are some codes in your functions.php, or other php files, or some plugins are disabling those options.
Canyou check if there are any codes like this
remove_submenu_page('themes.php', 'theme_options');

static pages on wordpress

How do I build static pages on wordpress?
I use wordpress, and it keeps looking like a blog, with a navigation bar on the side which I don't like. I want a "static website" like look. with articles, not blog posts.
You have to create a theme for that. In your theme you can make it look like anything you want. If you're blog is on wordpress.com just pick a theme from the gallery.
or if you host your own blog, you can download any of the free themes or make your own! It's pretty easy.
These links should help
http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development
This is a pretty huge question. Very open-ended.
The layout of your site (looking like a blog vs. a static site) is entirely dependent on your theme.
An easy way to get started is to use the default twentyten theme, and add widgets to your sidebar (WP admin > Appearance > Widgets). This will stop the default sidebar from displaying.
Next, you can create a static page in WP Admin > Pages and then use that page as your default page, WP Admin > Settings > Reading > Front page displays...
From there on out, it's really a matter of making your theme look like you want it to. f there's something that WordPress can't do out of the box, search Google or the WordPress Plugin Repository for what you want to do.
