  Somehow I accidentally activated a theme called ‘Boardwalk’. I want to get rid of that theme and return my site to what it was before the theme was activated.
  Also – my dashboard page does not look anything like the instruction video on the dashboard page shows it to be.

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

  Hi there,

  For sites on WordPress.com, you’ll always need to have a theme activated. To get rid of Boardwalk, you’ll just need to switch to a different theme and Boardwalk goes away automatically.

  It looks like before Boardwalk, you were using Pilcrow:

  https://wordpress.com/themes/search/PIlcrow/

  Just visit that page, click the blue “Activate” button, and your blog will switch to that theme.

  Also – my dashboard page does not look anything like the instruction video on the dashboard page shows it to be.

  Could you send me a link to the page with this video you’re referring to? I’d like to update it.

  We’ve be adding a lot of new changes to our dashboard, and a lot of support documents still display the older /wp-admin/ dashboard instead.
