  Hi there. Unfortunately there’s no Undo button you can click to go back to a previous theme. Your only option is to browser the Theme gallery and look for the theme you used to have. If you can remember your theme’s name you can search for it there.

  I quickly had a look at your site using the waybackmachine, and it appears that in May last year you had the Timepiece theme. Here’s the link, if that’s the theme you’re looking for: https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/timepiece/

  Hi there, and thanks for your replies and link. I was hoping there was a magic button at WordPress by which they could revert to an earlier set up.

  Best wishes

  If you change themes and then want to revert back to your previous theme do you lose all your customisation etc?

  It’s stored unless you overwrote it with customizations for the new theme.
