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

<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.

Hello, Falco!
Thank you very much for your help.
Could you please answer the second question that i asked before.
2. What should i do to make banner "Would you like to install app on your smartphone appear on the top of the forum? Usually it has blue color.

And now I cant see the name of my forum (I moved to body section code that you mentioned above)
Now it is situated on the end of the page actually

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.

So I don’t need to mark these… ?

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

Thank you very much for your great help. Could you please tell me what Discourse narrative bot is doing ? What are his functions?
