  Hi,

  You don’t really need to delete the current theme. You can always change your theme. Go to My Sites → Themes in your site’s dashboard. Click on the three dots to the right of your new theme’s name and then click on Activate.

  For instructions on how to import content into your current site, please see this article: https://en.support.wordpress.com/import/

  Hope this answers your question.

  I see. If you want to start over, one option you have is to empty your site. Please see the following article for more detailed instructions: https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/

  Let me know if this is what you had in mind.

  Hi,

  I still see content on your site (the pages and posts are still there). I am going to add the tag “modlook” to this thread to alert staff to assist you.

  Best regards

  Hi there,

  You cannot delete a theme, and you cannot import a theme. All you can import here are your posts, pages and comments. Nothing else.

  If you want to change a theme, go to My Site ->Themes and select the theme you want to use.

  To make changes to your menu, click on My Sites, then click the Customize button next to Themes. Then click on Menus. You can create or edit your menu there:

  Custom Menus

  So you are trying to move to a self-hosted site?

  You an export your content via My Site ->Settings ->Export, and you then import that on your self-hosted site under Tools ->Import in the dashboard.

  You cannot export the theme. Instead, you need to download the self-hosted version of your theme, and install that under Appearance ->Themes in the dashboard.

  You can download the self-hosted version of your theme here:
