  Hi there

  Is there anyway to recover a website, I made the mistake of changing the theme and all my content has gone? The theme I previously used may have been archived.
  There is months of work on the website, I did not even press publish, so didnt think that it would not be able to move it back to the previous theme.

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

  You were previously on https://wordpress.com/theme/oxygen which has been retired, so there isn’t a way to switch back.

  The good news is, switching themes doesn’t affect your content, it’s all still there.

  Would you mind letting me know specifically which content is missing? We can help you get this sorted out. :)

  staff-blorbo I was under the impression that many retired themes still exist and can be reactivated (If your account is old enough) via the wp-admin dashboard. I still see Oxygen there.

  🤔 You’re right!

  @debbieryanmosaics You should be able to re-activate Oxygen from https://debbieryanmosaics.wordpress.com/wp-admin/themes.php?theme=pub/oxygen

  
  @themagicrobot Thanks for the reminder!
