  Hi all,

  I changed my theme from selena to another theme. Now when I have moved back some of the design feature are missing namely the boxes at the bottom. I’ve tried changing to a different design and changing back but it doesn’t seem to reset it.

  Any help would be appreciated

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

  Are you talking about the Sela theme? Those were probably widgets. This page tells you how to add them: https://wordpress.com/themes/sela/

  Here’s the support page on what you need to check when you switch themes.

  Because different themes have different widget areas they’re not maintained when you switch. It’s pretty simple to add your old widgets back and all the previous settings are saved so you don’t have to recreate them from nothing.

  I find it easier to do this from the old style dashboard (WP Admin > Appearance > Widgets). Visit that link when you’re logged in and scroll down to see your inactive widgets then just drag them back to where they were originally.
