I accidentally changed my theme, and do not remember the old theme name. Very upsetting, since I put years of work into the site.

Hello there, Changing theme doesn’t remove the site content.

Looking at a Google cache of your site from June 17th, it looks like you were using the Vostok theme, which is now retired.

https://thestrangewoman.wordpress.com/wp-admin/themes.php?theme=pub/vostok

You can activate it from that link.

However, I would like to suggest that you consider changing themes. As time goes by retired themes like Vostok are no longer updated and do not support WordPressdotcom’s new features.

Let us know if you would like suggestions for a newer theme.

Oh no, I really liked that theme. Is there one that is very similar and free as well? It gave me the option of changing the background color.

Hello again, Many free themes have custom colors available
https://wordpress.com/themes/free/filter/custom-colors/ or allow you to change the background color https://wordpress.com/themes/free/filter/custom-background/

What was it that you liked particularly about Vostok?

I post photos/images as the main content, with very little text underneath each. So I guess the image is central to the text. I don’t see another one like Vostok in the free themes. Is there one that is close to it with changeable background color?

Is there no way to get Vostok back again?

Hi there @strangewoman,

I’ve restored Vostok to your https://thestrangewoman.wordpress.com site.

Hello again, please read my above replies. I have given you both a link to your WP Admin dashboard where you can activate the theme again or look for a newer theme that allows you to change the background color.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU ALL! I don’t have time to redo the whole blog. I was just trying to add another website when this happened.

Is there a way to delete one of the new sites. I somehow got two instead of one.

No worries. I’ve removed it for you. You still have the other two sites on your account.

Thank you! I was going to remove it, but was worried it would affect the strange woman.wordpress blog.
