Starting over with the site

    Hello support,

    I’d like to start over with my site ‘(email visible only to moderators and staff)’ but just cannot figure out how to do it. Everything I try just makes things worse. And when I think about just deleting the blog it says that the site won’t be available in the future.

    Can you please assist me? I’m really having a lot of trouble setting up my blog right now.

    The main reason why I want to start over is because I somehow accidentally deleted the front page and cannot seem to restore it.

    Thanks a lot for quick support!

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

    The main reason why I want to start over is because I somehow accidentally deleted the front page and cannot seem to restore it.

    The front page of every site or Home by default is the URL of the site.

    Every theme has a detailed theme description page like this one is at https://wordpress.com/themes/pique/That’s where set up instructions for it are found. The live demo site is at https://pique.wordpress.com/

    All support docs are at https://en.support.wordpress.com/

    This is a one or the other situation. You have two choices on any blog
    (1) All posts on the front page ie. the Home page. By default that is the URL of the site.

    (2) 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 your blog displays all published posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. That is for the convenience of your returning visitors, who come to read your latest post, and who are not likely to be happy with being compelled to click through the same static page with the same blah, blah, blah on it every time they visit the blog looking for the latest post.

    However, if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts. Create your two pages first
    Front page:
    Posts page:
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/

    After you do that you go to > Dashboard > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

    A static page (select below)
    Front page:
    Posts page:

    Go to http://katharinadurrer.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php and make the required change.

    Front page displays
    Save changes
    __ Your latest posts

    If you sent any post or page to Trash and did not permanently delete it there then you can restore from Trash for 30 days after deletion. If applicable see > restoring from trash http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash
