  Hi there,

  Our support page can assist you in this process.
  If you have tons of content on your blog, we can do it for you, but you can accomplish clearing your site fairly easily with bulk actions whenever you’re ready.

  Are you wanting your theme reverted to its original layout as well? If so, I can go ahead and empty the site and reset the theme for you.

  Let me know if you have any questions.
  Thanks,

  Hi
  There isn’t tons of content on my blog. Can you guide me to clear my website of pages and posts please.
  I’ve started setting up the website for the unit I’m studying but I became very confused and concerned when I couldn’t seem to delete a page I no longer want. I’ve tried to delete my webpage called ‘Comments’ but I can’t find out how to do this, even though I have managed to delete other pages I don’t want. Also I have pages listed in my ‘Posts page’ which shouldn’t be there and which I would like to remove.
  I wish to continue using the ‘Apostrophe 2’ theme.
  Thank you so much for responding to my request for assistance.

  Regards

  Hi bhi0749455,

  There isn’t tons of content on my blog. Can you guide me to clear my website of pages and posts please.

  Sure! You can find instructions for emptying posts and pages here:

  Empty Your Site to Start Fresh

  I’ve tried to delete my webpage called ‘Comments’ but I can’t find out how to do this, even though I have managed to delete other pages I don’t want.

  I can see a page called “Comments” on deborahboxhill.wordpress.com. Can you send me a link to where you are seeing it?

  Also I have pages listed in my ‘Posts page’ which shouldn’t be there and which I would like to remove.

  The Contact page is currently set as the posts page in My Sites > Design > Customise > Homepage Settings. You can choose an alternative page to display your posts on there.

  I wish to continue using the ‘Apostrophe 2’ theme.

  That’s fine — emptying posts and pages won’t remove the theme, so you’ll be able to continue using that afterwards.

  We’ll be here if you have any questions :)
