    Hi there!

    It looks like you’ve had a number of theme changes – can you clarify which theme you want to be restored and can you switch back to that theme? Once you do that we can reset the demo content for that theme.

    Let us know if you have any questions. Otherwise, we’ll wait to hear back from you!

    Cheers,

    Thank you very much Heroponriki. The theme which I need is named as: Blog at WordPress.com. Theme: Black-LetterHead by Ulysses Ronquillo. I do not know how to attach an image of it. Otherwise, I hope this will suffice if you can restore my blog to this scheme. I activated only 2 new themes both need to be cancelled to restore. I went to ‘Revisions’ and tried to cancel as well as restore but there was no option to restore except a display of number of revisions made:(

    Regards

    Thanks for clarifying. Unfortunately, Black-Letterhead was retired in July 2013 and is no longer available.

    When themes are retired, they’re not removed from your site if the theme is in use. But, if you switch to another theme, you will not be able to change back to the retired theme. Retired themes are not available to activate again, even if you have used them before.

    What that means is that we aren’t able to switch your site back to that theme. I’d recommend browsing the theme directory to find an alternative theme.

    Sorry I couldn’t be more help.

    Thanks a lot for your prompt response, a nice characteristic of WP I endear very much.

    I understand my situation now. Unfortunately I forgot the procedure to add header, footer image of my own customised images and other widgets for that page. Could it not be inconvenient if you kindly let me know the procedure for all these after I select a theme?

    Also, please let me know if all my articles, etc as were there woud not be affected if I change any theme.

    Thanks with regards

    Your articles and media will still be there – just your theme will change.

    How to set a header/footer/etc does depend on which theme you choose, so feel free to find one that you like and we can better advise if you run into trouble setting that up. :)
