  I just tried out a new theme for my homepage, it deleted all my information and page links and seems to have automatically saved it instantly, is there a way to revert it back to the original theme with all of my work?

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

  So it appears that this also unlinked all of my pages that I had leading to the homepage. what gives? I was just trying to preview the theme, idk why it would automatically overwrite all of my work

  Hi there,

  When you switch to a new theme, your current homepage is unpublished and set as a “draft” for safe keeping, so that you see the demo homepage for your new theme rather than your existing theme.

  With this in mind. is your missing homepage design here? https://wordpress.com/pages/drafts/

  If so, you can publish this, and then set it as your “homepage” again here, under the Homepage Settings tab on the left:
  https://wordpress.com/customize/

  Hope this helps!
