  I was playing around with the themes and activated a new one. I can’t remember which theme I used before and also don’t know if I can get all of my old settings for the page back. Is there any way to restore?

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

  I checked Google’s cache but found only the Twenty Sixteen theme. Only Staff can tell you which theme you used previously. When we need Staff help with issues Volunteers cannot resolve like this one we type modlook into the sidebar tags on our forum threads. I did that for you. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Then we subscribe to this thread so we are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.

  Hi amandagamble!

  Other than Twenty Sixteen, I saw a few other themes that had been on your site within the last few weeks:

  Toujours: https://wordpress.com/themes/toujours/
  Button: https://wordpress.com/themes/button/
  Twenty Twelve: https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/twentytwelve/
  Affinity: https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/affinity/

  If you decide to switch back to one of those, you’ll likely need to adjust some settings in Customize. If you had Widgets on there before that you would like to restore, go to your wp-admin (https://amandagamble.wordpress.com/wp-admin/), then Appearance > Widgets. Scroll down to the “Inactive Widgets” area and you’ll see your previously configured widgets there that you can click and drag up and right to add back onto your site.

  Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions! :)

  Thank you both for your help here.

  It looks like i had twentytwelve before. But I can’t seem to get everything back to the way it looked before, which means I’ll have to customize.. the info on widgets was very helpful.

  Thanks again!
