Cannot ‘reverse’ theme modification

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello,

    I’m new to WordPress.com. I have a new site and I have been experimenting with different themes.

    I like the theme ‘Exmoor,’ and I was playing around with customizing it a bit. Specifically, I was trying to create some sort of template for some pages that doesn’t have a page title on it.

    Anyway, I now have no idea what I did, but NONE of my pages now have titles on them. AND if I add a new page, it STILL doesn’t have a title on it.

    I activated another theme, the reactivated Exmoor, but I am STILL having the problem. The thing is, I thought deactivating a theme/activating another/reactivating the first theme did a ‘reset’ on the theme…basically your old modifications would be gone. But this is not the case. So now I feel like I am going crazy.

    Any suggestions?

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

  • Hey there!

    Happy to help you with this.

    It’s possible to reset the customisations via Appearance > Editor > Templates > Manage all Templates > next to Pages, click on the three dots > click Clear customisations.

    This should bring back the title block.

    It looks like you’re just getting started – what are you plans for your site? Maybe I can offer some advice and help to guide you in the right direction.

    I hope this helps, speak soon!

    Oh my goodness. THANK YOU KIND SIR! I looked around all over but did not manage to find that path to clearing customizations. That indeed did the trick.

    Thanks as well for your offer of further help. I may take you up on that in the near future. I really shouldn’t be so dumb with this stuff…I created more websites than I can even recall using the self-hosted version of WP, but this is my first foray into trying to make a professional-grade site using WordPress.com.

    You have a great rest of your day my friend.
