    Hi there,

    Can you tell me what is messed up? It might be simpler to fix than you think :)

    In terms of resetting, we have two options available: we can empty the site, which won’t do anything in this case as you’ve already done that, and that process doesn’t make any changes to the theme itself.

    Or we can reset the theme to its default settings, which will remove any content you still have (I see you still have one draft page on the site), and replace it with the theme’s demo content, and as far as I know, also the theme’s default settings/customization.

    If you prefer this second option, please confirm that you’re sure, as this process cannot be reversed, and any content removed in the process won’t be possible to restore.

    im new, so i deleted something on my page
    expecting an option to create it new.

    now i have a image and words and when i to edit it or do anything
    i get a page error

    You attempted to edit an item that doesn’t exist. Perhaps it was deleted?

    so its better to start fresh

    lets do the second option.
    reset the theme to its default settings, which will remove any content you still have , and replace it with the theme’s demo content,

    I was able to reset this for you. It’s using an older theme currently, which does limit a few of our newer layout options, but if you’ll mainly be writing posts and pages you should be good to go.

    Also, it appeared you had attempted to set up menu. This may help:

    We’ll be here for any questions you have. Cheers!
