  I activated a theme without intending to. Is there a way to go back through previous themes to get back to where I started? The page versions are so extensive, I presumed I’d be able to get back to a previous state.

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

  Hi there,

  The only way to get back to a previous theme is to click on My Site ->Themes, look for the previous theme you had, and reactivate it. You might need to set up customizations like custom headers and background, and reconfigure your widgets, after switching back.

  @stmartinsvt

  The theme you originally had on your site before switching was Shoreditch

  If you tell me what your site’s address is, I can look what your previous theme was, but I can’t check without knowing the site you need help with.
