Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need a self-hosted WordPress site to use Amanda?

A: Yes. Amanda is designed for self-hosted WordPress.org sites (e.g., Bluehost, SiteGround, GoDaddy). It’s not compatible with WordPress.com free plans. The Business Plan or higher is required if using WordPress.com.

Q: What’s the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org?

A: WordPress.org is self-hosted—you own your site and have full control over design, plugins, and functionality. WordPress.com is a hosted service with limited customization. For full flexibility, choose WordPress.org.

Q: I keep getting “stylesheet.css” errors during install. What should I do?

A: This happens when you upload the main .zip file directly. Always extract the inner folder (e.g., amanda) and upload that folder to the themes directory. Do not upload the parent .zip file.

Q: Is a framework like Genesis required to use Amanda?

A: No. Amanda is a standalone theme with no dependencies. It works independently—no extra frameworks, no complex setup. Everything you need is included in the package.
