  The theme of my blog changed automatically. What do you now? I have changed it back to the previous one but why did this happen?

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

  Hi runoffthemillblog,
  A theme cannot be changed automatically, chances would be someone might have logged into the account and caused the change or by mistake, it might be switched, the way to change the theme is like this:

  I suggest just change your password, these guidelines can be used:

  Hope this helps.
  Let us know if it happens again.

  Hi @runoffthemillblog, I’ve checked the log for your site, and I see a lot of theme changes over the past 4 weeks, with your username as the source of the switch. In order from newest, these are the last several theme switches I see.

  Balloons (current 12 hours ago – no username listed)
  Afterlight: (1 week ago by runoffthemillblog)
  Intergalactic 2 (1 week ago by runoffthemillblog)
  Balloons (4 weeks ago by runoffthemillblog)

  The only thing I can think of is that on a switch back to Balloons, the save did not complete.

  @thesacredpath: Thank you for the information further, especially the logs.
  
  @runoffthemillblog: Did you try to change the themes as mentioned above? If yes all is good. IF you didn’t try to, definitely a change in the password would be a great idea, or also the Two Step Authentication method read more about it here :

  Hope this helps, let us know for anything else.
