  There was a theme that I’ve used when I first started my blog. I can’t remember the name so I was wondering how its possible to find out.

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

  Hi artusartos,

  It looks like you were using Twenty Fourteen in the past:

  Is this the theme you are looking for?

  @gemmacevans Thanks a lot, but actually that wasn’t the one. Could I know the first couple or something (I don’t even remember twenty fourteen, maybe I had it only for a short time when trying to pick a theme. I don’t know)

  Hi artusartos,

  A number of the earlier themes you were using have been retired but there is a newer version of Penscratch, called Penscratch 2:

  Or perhaps Goran was the theme you are thinking of?

  @gemmacevans Actually its not those either. I’m just thinking maybe that theme does not exist anymore…

  I see quite a few theme switches in your site’s early history, but looks like you kept Gateway for a while – perhaps that’s the one you’re remembering?

  @kathrynwp That’s true, I did keep Gateway for a long time. But there was one that I kept before that. I looked at all the themes in wordpress one by one and its nowhere to be seen. I’m guessing its gone…

  If you give me an approximate date (even a month/year) of when you were using the theme you’re remembering, I can do some more digging for you.

  @kathrynwp Thank you :). It was in 2014 sometime around october/november, not exactly sure about the month.

  I see many dozens of theme switches during those months so it’s hard to tell which one you might be referring to. :) Here are a couple:

  Sequential – https://sequentialdemo.wordpress.com/

  Sela – https://selademo.wordpress.com/

  Fictive – https://fictivedemo.wordpress.com/

  @kathrynwp Thanks a lot! I was looking for fictive. However I cannot find that in the themes anymore. Is it gone? Is there a way to bring it back?

  That theme is retired. Themes are retired when they no longer function fully with all the latest updates continually added to WordPress.com. However if you have used that theme on your site in the past then you are still able to return to it by adding /wp-admin/themes.php?search=fictive to your site address and you can activate it from there.

  Thanks for chiming in, themagicrobot.

  artusartos – as they said, you should be able to switch back to Fictive from WP Admin here:

  Let us know if you run into any trouble with that.
