  Hi All, I am in the process of setting up a new site, and whilst doing this have accidentally chosen a new design for my original site tintininnepal.wordpress.com. I have now lost the original design for this site (can’t remember what it was called) and all the settings. Is there a way of reversing this? Or at least finding out what the previous design was called? Many thanks!

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

  Have you looked at “Tools” “Activity” where you can see the 20 most recent changes made to your site.

  Thanks for that @themagicrobot. I have found the change I made. Do you know if there’s a way of undoing the change?

  As long as you can see which theme you used before the change then simply activate that earlier theme once again. https://wordpress.com/themes

  Thanks @themagic robot. The theme I was using is called Coraline but WordPress is saying “This theme hasn’t been updated in over 2 years. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress”. I can’t therefore seem to figure out how to re-activate it. It was working fine though before I changed it. Any suggestions? Many thanks!

  You can still activate the Coraline theme from the wp-admin dashboard “Appearance” “Themes”.
