Changing theme, keeping content

    Hi,

    I currently use a customarily uploaded theme and wanted to know what happens to the content if I upload a newly purchased theme.

    Will the content remain? If not, is there an easy way to save all of it or do I just need to copy past all articles individually?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there!

    Themes can’t be uploaded to blogs hosted on WordPress.com. They can only be uploaded to self-hosted blogs running on WordPress.org software. You can read more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org here:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    If you’re looking to change your theme on a WordPress.com site, all of your content will remain. You may need to edit custom menus and other theme options you have set up, but all of your posts, pages, and media will remain.

    If you would like a backup of your site before making any changes, you can do that in the form of an export.

    Let me know if I can help with anything else!
