  Hello,

  I recently followed a tutorial on how to build a wordpress site. I created a draft but want to clear my slate and start over. Is there anyway of doing this and keeping the same theme?

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

  Hi,

  You can do it by manually deleting the contents. An automated process is also available which can be performed by a Staff. Here you can find more details about the manual and automatic processes of removing contents (emptying site): https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/

  Keeping the theme is not a difficult task, just remember the theme name because if it gets changed, you could set it again from theme settings option. Please read the following links for guidelines to delete –

  Pages: http://support.wordpress.com/pages/edit-pages-screen/#delete-pages

  Categories: http://support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/#bulk-actions

  Tags: http://support.wordpress.com/posts/tags/#managing-tags

  And if you find the above process complex, you may try to get staff help by adding “modlook” in this post’s tags on the sidebar.

  Cheers.

  Looks like you’re currently running Sketch. Unless you change your theme yourself, it should remain Sketch, even while you make other changes, like emptying the site of content.

  Just let us know if you have any questions after having a look at arafatbs’s tips above.
