theme crash
-
Hi!
I’ve been working on the site, everything was going in exact way I wanted it to look, and unfortunately, by curiosity, I changed theme. After that the website seemed like half-opened, and just got stuck. The content was totally invisible. I need the theme ‘Edin’ to be completely reset, so I could start over again but keep the address of my site. Could you help me with that?
Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You have the Edin theme on the site already. You simply have not set it up and published content yet.
Your detailed theme description page is at https://wordpress.com/themes/edin/ and that’s where set up instructions for it are found. The live demo site is at https://edindemo.wordpress.com/
You must be logged in under the username account that registered the site first. Make sure you are running an updated browser version found at http://browsehappy.com or upgrade, please.
The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:
http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
* You will have to replace “name_of_blog” with your actual blog’s name in that URL.
If the log-in information is lost you need to visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
Every theme has a detailed theme description page with set up instructions like this one https://wordpress.com/themes/independent-publisher/ and a live demo site like this one https://independentpublisherdemo.wordpress.com/

The support documentation is all found at the Support link http://en.support.wordpress.com which is also on the bottom of your Admin page.
A blog is a website. The difference between blog and website is simply structure and semantics.
A blog is a post based website designed for interactive communication. As the posts are frequently updated and appear on the front page of the site it’s very attractive to search engines.
What most people call a website is merely a page based site that functions as a one-way noticeboard. As the structure is page based and as pages are for static content that rarely changes, and as pages do not have RSS feeds, and as others do not backlink to pages, it is not as attractive to search engines as a post based blog structured site is.
Any WordPress blog can be restructured from being post based to being page based – no upgrade required. For greater clarity read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/

https://en.support.wordpress.com/five-step-website-setup/Switching themes can be easily done, provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the site. Themes are just “skins” on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. You can quickly and easily change themes on any WordPress.COM hosted blog to another one found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and no data will be lost or negatively affected by the change. The only time you may have to do a lot of work is if you are changing to a dramatically different theme with different features and/or if you have done any CSS editing.
Provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the blog go to Dashboard > Appearance > Themes, Browse themes until you find one you like and click the “activate” or the “preview” link, or type in the name of the theme you want to use when it appears.
The theme customizer https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/ provides a preview function for exactly that purpose ie. so you can view what a theme will appear like prior to changing one.

Thank you for your answer.
I know I have theme Edin set up already.
But I had my content on the website already. The problem is, even though themes are just skins, something happened that my content totally disappeared. I started deleting all my content and trying to bring the theme Edit to default settings but I am unable to do it.
I just wanted fresh start, with clear template like in the beginning.
Is it possible?Thanks.

Any way to bring back theme to default template?
I couldn’t find the answer in support docs. -
There is no theme rest button. You undo what you did to restore.
You must be logged in under the username account that registered the site first. Then to empty the site content and start over using the same URL ie. blog address you have two options:
(1) Doing this quickly and easily yourself http://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
(2) Waiting in a queue and having Staff do it for you.Staff can empty the whole blog for you. That will remove all data including posts, pages, tags, categories, comments, and uploaded files and once deleted, the data cannot be recovered.
If you are sure you want Staff to proceed, and you are prepared to wait then type modlook into the tags in the sidebar of this thread for Staff attention, and post here again to:
(1) confirm the URL of the blog you want them to empty;
(2) confirm that you know content deletion is irreversible.IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting public blogs and/or blog content from them does not remove indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found):

I confirm veinitive.wordpress.com to empty.
I confirm I know the content deletion is irreversible.If possible, please set up Edin theme on default settings.
Thanks.
