Return to previous theme?

    Hi, in the course of editing my menus, I tried on for size a different theme, not realizing that I would be permanently replacing my original theme page.
    Now I have a theme I don’t like, and I’m hoping to figure out how to return to the original theme–the one that was active through yesterday, May 9, 2022.
    Can you help me with this please?
    Thanks very much!

    Hi Paul,

    I see your site used to be on the Ecto theme. That theme was retired some time ago, which is why you’re not able to switch to it from the theme showcase any more.

    I’ve restored the theme to your site, and you can continue using it for as long as it still works. But you should know that once a theme is retired it no longer receives updates or bug fixes, and it won’t work forever :)

    If you want to continue exploring new themes, the best way to do that is to create a second, private site in your account that you can use as a test site. Import some of your content to this test site, and then you can experiment on it, without it affecting your actual site.

    Hope this helps :)
