You broke when you added this HTML in your theme inside the `head` tag:

```html
<center>
  <img src="http://elenaspivakova.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/dialog_red_woman.png" alt="centered image" height="52" width="200" padding="" -="" top:="" 40px;;="">
</center>

```

Be careful when editing your theme, because you can break Discourse with invalid markup.

You need to move this to the body sections.

There are different fields in the theme customization page. To add markup to the visual top of the page you can use the `Header` section.

That’s automatically show for logged in users with enough engagement with your site.

By default, Discourse will offer the PWA installation for engaged users. Those settings control changing the PWA install prompt into the DiscourseHub install prompt.
