  Hi,
  Can I request to start from scratch? I am trying to format the page but the theme keeps going back to Brompton no matter which other theme I select.
  Can I just start from scratch?

  Thank you!

  Hi,

  Thank you for replying. I actually checked those instructions earlier, but I just don’t get it, and no clear instructions on how to removing formatting/reset the theme.

  Hi,

  I don’t know if this is what you are trying to do.
  To change a theme go to
  MySites
  Design
  When you find a theme you want to use click on the three dots on the right side of the name of the theme and then click activate that is how you change a theme

  Hi,

  I tried doing that, and from what I’ve been told, my site was supposed to have the “Piqued” theme, but on the edit screen (my end), it looks like it’s stuck to “Brampton” instead.

  Since I don’t see a way to revert or change it to something else, I asked to delete the content and all. I just want to retain the site name.

  I could send a screenshot, but there’s no option for that here ☹️

  Thank you for checking, though.

  Hi,

  I see you have this post and another post where you are getting help for this issue,

  I would suggest using the other post so that you are getting help in only one place instead of two places.

  https://wordpress.com/forums/topic/customizing-themes-8/

  Here is how to make a screenshot that you can place on the link above.

  Hi,

  I’ve made my site live, just to show what I see from my end.

  I could skip the other thread, and I’d rather keep this one. It seems the formatting is off and I don’t know why it’s doing that. I hope I can delete everything and start from scratch instead.

  Thanks!

  @shoppicksnfinds From your last reply at https://wordpress.com/forums/topic/customizing-themes-8/ it looks like you were able to resolve this.

  I’ll go ahead and close this thread as a duplicate. If you are still having issues with your theme, please reply only in that thread so we can keep all support on this topic in one place, especially since Staff are helping you in your other thread. Thanks.

  
  @ryrhino00 continuing in multiple threads on the same topic isn’t helpful because it makes it much more difficult to track progress on a user’s issue. Kindly tag such threads as duplicate with a modlook tag as well so Staff can do the needful. Thanks.
