    Hi, new to wordpress, started today. I changed the layout and with that my content got lost. Like to reverse back to the previous saved layout. Is this possible and carry on working in the older/previous layout?

    Hi there,

    It appears that your theme was switched away from the Maywood Theme:

    https://wordpress.com/theme/maywood

    If you reactivate that theme, you should have the previous layout that you had before the theme update. I also see that a lot of pages were deleted or privatized, so there isn’t nearly as much content as there was before.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks,

    Hello, thanks for replying.
    I did read somewhere that if you go to Activity one can click on a Revision and carry one working. So I did and all is good but if I logout and login later to my blog it tells me there’s nothing there. I have to go back the activity route to load the blog again. How can I save the blog that if I login again it goes straight to the last saved condition/revision.

    Regarding the removed pages and change from theme: I just trying out a lot of things. The maywood layout didn’t suite my idea for my blog. At this point I am not even sure want I want exactly. I am used to work in Indesign as layout program and almost anything is possible where to position text or picture boxes. It seems that web/blog designing works quite different.

    Many thanks
    Max

    Hi Max,
    I’m not sure what are you referring to with the Activity route. To add content to your site, you’ll add Posts or Pages from My Site>Site. You’ll publish or save as a draft anything you write.

    To work on your site’s design, you’ll go to My Site>Design>Customize and again, either you publish your changes or save them as a draft to publish later on.
    As you say, creating sites in InDesing is way different than how it works in WordPress.com so, a great place to learn more about it is this page:

    If you have any particular questions, let us know, we’ll be happy to clarify further.
