Going from Theme TwentyRen to TwentyEleven, will it retain settings and menus?

  No problem, just a question.

  I want to change theme from TwentyTen to TwentyEleven, but wonder if all my settings, layouts, menus, etc. will be retained. I know you guys say you can do a test swap and then go back to the original if I don’t like it, but my experience is reverting sometimes does not work if what you tried had different options/widgets/arrangements than the original theme.

  You widgets will stay preserved between the two themes. You’ll likely need to reset the custom header image if you have one and any layout or menu settings you’ve customized. All of the widgets you’ve set up will remain intact though.

  Thanks.

  I was hoping it would retain the menu set-up, but I suppose it gives me an opportunity to rethink my layout.
