Resetting Contents and Settings from Blog
-
I’m brand new to WP, and I’ve been tooling around with a simple blog/site as an extension of my work. However, I’m not keen about my current theme and customizations. I’ve attempted just changing the theme to something that better fits (I’ve settled on Shoreditch), but I find that nearly all previous cutomizations seem to follow.
I’m wondering if there is anyway I can simply revert my blog back to the demo look/settings for Shoreditch, so I can then start from scratch. Any ideas?Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There is no such thing as a theme reset button. We simply remove everything we did to start over. You must be logged in under the username account that registered the site first. Then to empty the site and keep the URL http://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
Every theme has a detailed theme description page and this one is at https://wordpress.com/themes/shoreditch/ That’s where set up instructions for it are found. The live demo site is at https://shoreditchdemo.wordpress.com/
You must be logged in under the exact same username that registered the site to be able to access the site. The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:
http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
Replace NAME_OF_BLOG in that URL with the actual name of your blog.

If you have a lot of content, Staff can empty the whole blog for you. That will remove all data including posts, pages, tags, categories, comments, and uploaded files and once deleted, the data cannot be recovered.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blogs and/or blog content does not remove indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found):

(1) confirm the URL of the blog you want them to empty;
(2) confirm that you know content deletion is irreversible.
