My homepage content from a previous theme has been removed
-
Hello, I switched themes today from Courier to Dyad 2 and lost all my content I had published using the block editor for my homepage… I really loved my homepage. How man I get it back? It was never designated under a certain menu, I just created it in the block editor…. is there I way I can revert my website back to the old theme to keep it the way it was?
Thank you for your help.

Hi there,
is there I way I can revert my website back to the old theme to keep it the way it was?
You can go to https://wordpress.com/themes/courier/ and select ‘Activate this Design’.

You may find the old pages and/or posts in the Drafts by going to My Site > Site > Pages > Drafts or My Site > Site > Posts > Drafts. You’ll need to republish these by selecting them, and clicking ‘Publish’ in the top right-hand corner.

You can also delete the new theme’s page/post templates by going to My Site > Site > Pages or My Site > Site > Posts, finding the template, clicking the three dots and selecting Bin.

Hi Lea, the advice writer0001 gave is correct; if you activate a new theme, it puts your old homepage in Drafts.
So you can head to https://wordpress.com/pages/drafts
Re-publish the page you want
Go to https://wordpress.com/pages and remove the old page (you can preview first to be sure if, needed)
Then go to http://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/ to set the correct home page.
Thanks for tagging this too, @writer101!
