Drupal themes don't work

Question

I successfully installed drupal on my localhost. I can login and post things on the website, but whenever I try new template almost nothing changes. Whole page color is white and all links are blue. Themes show no effect. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Answer 1

Clear caches.

On /admin/config/development/performance click the "Clear All caches" button. If you have installed the admin_menu module you can do this easier with a link under the top left icon with the title "Flush all caches".
