    It looks like you had an upgrade on your site that may need Staff assistance in downgrading before you can delete your site. In order to downgrade your site, Staff will need your confirmation that you understand:

    1. Any content (pages, posts, media, comments, etc) added after adding outside themes and plugins will be lost.

    2. Any custom content created by plugins and themes will not be carried over.

    3. Plugins and third-party themes can no longer be used.

    4. The site will revert to using the old theme.

    Once you’ve confirmed that, they’ll be able to proceed with downgrading your site so you can delete it. Thanks.
