restart blog
-
Hi ! I started a blog today and messed up with the menu (yes, I’m pretty good at that haha). I don’t know how to fix it, so is it possible to restart it ? (but I keep the url)
The concerned blog is : abroadnbeyond.comI know content deletion is irreversible but as long as I keep the url I’m fine with it.
Thx !
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You’ve only been here 10 hours and have next to nothing to delete.
The good news is that you can delete it quickly and easily yourself. See here http://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
However, if you want to wait in a lengthy queue for Staff to do this for you, they 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. If waiting is what you want to do then leave the modlook tag in the sidebar.

Thank you for your quick answer.
The problem is not the posts I made, they were only tests. As I said, my current menu is a mess and I would like it to be back to its original scheme (archive, latest, etc…) but I don’t how to do it. If there is a clear way to do it, feel free to inform me. I would rather learn to “clean” my mistakes by myself.

There is no such thing as a rest button. We simply undo whatever we have done. The good news is that you can do that quickly and easily yourself. See here http://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/

Yeah but deleting the posts, etc… won’t make the menu go back to its original form, right ?

EDIT: rest button was meant to be reset button
You have one published post here http://abroadnbeyond.com/2016/02/07/test/ so it makes no waiting for Staff to delete it means an unnecessary wait.
Go to Dashboard > Posts > All Posts
https://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php
Hover over the title of the post and click the Trash link.*replace “NAME_OF_BLOG” in the URL with the name of your own blog like this:

Go to this Page http://abroadnbeyond.com/wp-admin/nav-menus.php and scroll down to the bottom right-hand corner of the page to:
Menu Settings
Auto add pages
__ Automatically add new top-level pages to this menu
Theme locationsCustom Menus do not exist unless we create them. I think you are referring to the setting that automatically adds a Page to the top horizontal menu bar.
This is a one or the other situation. You have two choices on any blog
(1) All posts on the front page.
(2) Or a static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ and all posts on a different page.By default the front page of a blog displays all published posts in reverse chronological order with the most recently published post on top. When we publish a post on WordPress software the software automatically creates the same entry in the Archives, and on the dynamic (automatically updating) Categories and Tags pages in accord with the Categories and Tags we assign to that post.
So when we create custom menu and add the dynamic (automatically updating) category pages to that custom menu we create the appearance (not the reality) of posting to more than one page.
You need to be aware that:
1. There are differences between posts and pages described here
https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/2. There are differences between static pages we bloggers create https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ that will not automatically update, and dynamic category pages created by the software when you publish a post which will automatically update https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/.
3. We organize posts by category assignment prior to publication. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/ and when we publish posts the dynamic category pages they automatically display on are determined by the categories we assign to them.
So the process you need to use is:
a. Assign Categories to your Posts. https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories
b. Create a custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#1-create-a-custom-menu
c. Add only the dynamic category page links into the custom menu that you want to appear in that menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-category-pages and arrange them as you wish them to appear https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menus
d. Create pages and sub-pages for static content, not for posts https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
e. Add any custom links and other items like static pages and sub-pages into your custom menu
https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-custom-links https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-pages
and arrange them as you wish them to appear https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menusPlease see https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/
