  Hi,
  I was working on setting up a new site, and accidentally changed the theme on a different site. Is there a place I can look to find out what the last theme was so I can revert it back? Is there an easy “rollback” button?

  Any help is appreciated!

  Andrea

  Hi Andrea,

  If the site you’re talking about is andreaksteele.wordpress.com then the previous theme was Visual (https://wordpress.com/themes/visual/).

  If it’s another site, give me the address so I can have a look.

  Thanks! That was exactly the theme I used to have before I mistakenly changed the theme.

  Am I able to see this myself somewhere? I searched but couldn’t find a place that tracked changes.

  You’re welcome!

  There’s no place that tracks theme changes. I have devised a do-it-yourself method. I searched for a cached version (older version) of your site on Google and by viewing the source code I was able to find the theme’s name.

  Here’s a cached version of your site from January 14, 2017:
