How do I revert back to an older version of my blog?
-
Hi, I would like to know if it’s possible to revert my Queenpin Graphics blog back to the version it was two days ago? I accidentally changed the theme because I thought it was for another blog, but now when I changed it back to the “Greyzed” theme that it was, all the widgets and galleries have disappeared and it would be impossible for me to remember exactly where everything used to be.
Please let me know if there is an older version of my blog that is saved somewhere so I can revert back to it and continue as normal.
kind regards
Queenpin Graphics
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There is no restore button. Themes are just “skins” on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. You can quickly and easily change themes on any WordPress.COM hosted blog to another one found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and no data will be lost or negatively affected by the change. The only time you may have to do some work is if you are changing to a dramatically different theme and have done any CSS editing.
Provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the blog go to Dashboard > Appearance > Themes, Browse themes until you find one you like and click the “activate” or the “preview” link, or type in the name of the theme you want to use when it appears.
After you change your theme all you need to do is go here Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets > Inactive Widgets and re-install them where you want them to appear. The widget contents and settings will be the same as they were prior to changing themes.

Thank you! Your response was very helpful. I was able to restore all of my previous widgets which were not actually deleted, simply inactive.
