Just starting! How do I change themes and start fresh

    I am very new to WordPress and I started with one theme and did not like it because it was a business theme instead of a portfolio theme. I switched to a new theme but it carried over all the junk from the old theme! How can I fix this and get a fresh start?

    I looked into deleting everything off the website but it is complicated and didn’t work for me since there are only some text boxes on the website anyway. I do not want to delete my site entirely because then I will lose my domain name. Please help!

    Hi there,

    You can do so by emptying your site. Have a look at this link for some help. Here’s how to empty your site without losing your domain:

    This guide can be really helpful with getting started. Give it a look and let me know if you have any questions about the information.

    Also, you can preview all of the themes, and demo sites for those themes, from the showcase. I’d suggest doing that and reviewing the instructional set up page before making the swap. https://wordpress.com/themes/
