Changed theme by mistake – want to get back to the old format! How?
-
Accidentally I changed my theme from “McKinley” to “TwentySeventeen” and activated it (by mistake). I can not deactive this change.
I want to return to and re-activate the McKinley theme (which was individually altered) urgently – but how?The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I noticed that the McKinley theme is gone from your themes collection. I modified it in several places (drop-down menus that showed the 450 pages of my site etc., colors, header photo … all of this is completely gone).
My readers now have no access to 2/3 of my 450 pages!!!
Unbelievable that you can destroy a word press site by just pressing this “activate” button by mistake – and not having a “de-activate and return to your old theme” button. -
Hi there! Although McKinley is retired, you can return to it via the WP Admin Themes area. I’ve gone ahead and done that for you.
If you need to reset any widgets that were in the footer, you can drag them from the Inactive Widgets area to the Footer Widget Area from here. Widget settings on widgets in the Inactive area are retained.
You may also need to reassign your menu to the theme’s main menu area, in the Customizer‘s Menus panel.
Just let me know if you need help with anything else.

I just noticed the changes you just made! Back to the old form!
What a relief!!!
Thank you very much! Theo -

asipnextgen – the theme you were using before Ixion was Perle. You can reselect it in the theme showcase, by going to My Sites > Themes.
If you have any trouble with it, let me know.
