  Hello!

  I am really confused because I want to ‘start over’ but keep my site name. I am not concerned with content. It can all go. I want to go back to the beginning!

  However, I feel if I just delete the pages, and content and whatnot, I will still be at a loss. I want the same theme I have (which I can get back easily) but I have messed with it and it seems nothing I do will go back to the default layout, which is why I am frustrated and want to just start again, thinking I will get the layout back.

  Any suggestions? I am not very tech-y, so please be kind! I have read a lot of posts here that is for the more technical minded…sadly I am not one of them!

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

  Have you tried switching to a different theme and back again to see if that helps?

  You can either start over yourself or you can ask the staff to empty your site.

  Note: Please keep in mind this action is permanent.

  If you want to do it yourself, you can delete all of your content from your site and still keep your current WordPress.com address by performing the following steps:

  Delete all posts
  Delete all pages
  Delete all categories
  Delete all tags
  Delete all media

  If you want to have the staff do this, please add the modlook tag in the right column. You will need to be logged in to the user account you created the site with, confirm the URL of the site you would like them to empty, and that you understand this action is permanent.

  Read more about emptying your site: https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/

  Please let me know if you have specific questions about anything.

  Yes, Ive tried all that, deleted everything, and yet I cannot seem to get the layout back with that theme. I have the same theme on another blog that works great but for some reason this just seems to not want to work, despite removing everything. Thanks though.

  @dressmeinred is this still relevant for you? If so, please post back here and add the MODLOOK tag to the forum thread’s Tag section in the sidebar.
