Strange user interface - can't change theme

[SusaD]

After I watched a few hours of tutorials on Youtube, I decided to start a Weebly site, and the main idea is that after everything in the right place I will building a store. I faced 2 problems and after hours of search, I find no solution.

1. My USER INTERFACE looks totally different than what I saw online/ tutorials on youtube. How this possible?

2. I can not change "theme" I do not have a theme button. ( different user interface)

3. If I go to the dashboard and I reset the page and start to building over, showing to me the same theme with different arrangements of sections. I have no option to choose another theme.

I am over the 4 hours of searching, finding a solution ..... very disappointing.

Anyone can point out what is wrong here? Thank you in advance!

@SusaD pls screen shot ur editor do u have the new editor experience

You have the newer editor experience, @SusaD, so the videos you saw on YouTube won't really apply. I recommend taking a look at our support site. If you are logged in you will see articles that are specific to the builder you have: https://www.weebly.com/app/help/

Hi, 

I have the same problem. Even when logged in all of the support screens are using the dark grey top and side menu panels. This is completely different from what I can see. And means all of the help articles are useless. I'm a paying customer with a Pro membership but likely to cancel as I can't do what I need the site to do. Can I use the other (old) set up? It looks much more flexible. 

I've already emailed support a few weeks back but no response yet.

Thanks

Theo

...as an adendum to my previous comment, I am trying to add membership functionaliy to my site. So if people pay a monthly/annual fee, they can access site pages which would otherwise be restricted. 

Thansk in advance,
