  I installed the wordpress oxygen theme and made some changes. I didn´t change any html code, just tried to customize using wp dashboard. Is there anyway to discard all of the changes i´ve made and get a clean start? I tried to search for some topic on this subject that could help me but i didn´t found any information.

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

  Hi.

  Not very smart, but it works: change to another theme and then change again to Oxygen. :)

  Hi there,
  There is no theme reset button. We simply undo what ever we did at:
  Appearance > Header
  Appearance > Background
  Appearance > Theme Options (applicable only to some themes)
  Settings > Reading (set a static front page)
  Site Title and Tagline > Settings > General

  Have you consulted this support doc? https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/

  If you have not purchased the Premium upgrade bundle which includes the custom design upgrade, then note that no changes you try out aside from those such as Custom Background, Custom Header, etc. which are stated on the theme description pages in the features column (right hand side) will be visible to visitors.

  See:
  Premium bundle details http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-fonts/

  You do not need to load the design tools unless you have the Custom Design upgrade. All of these functions can be accessed from your dashboard – without loading the custom design tools – no upgrade required.
  Appearance > Header
  Appearance > Background
  Appearance > Theme Options (applicable only to some themes)
  Settings > Reading (set a static front page)
  Site Title and Tagline > Settings > General

  If you are using the preview mode for the Custom Design upgrade some of the settings in that mode will save but they won’t show up on the front end unless you purchase the upgrade.

  To go back to the free options, go to Appearance → Themes → Customize → Colors and click the “exit the preview” link in yellow at the top of the panel on the right.
