  Hi, Im currently assisting a friend with her business and have edited parts of her website. However, when I have updated wordpress to a newer version it seems that the old theme of the website was removed and it has caused the interface to change. I want to restore the old theme and old version if that means going back to the way it was . Can anyone assist with this? Thanks

  I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

  Hi there,

  It sounds like you’re using the open-source WordPress.org platform and not the hosted WordPress.com platform this forum supports.

  https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

  Can you share the URL of the site so we can verify this?

  If that’s the case, you should post your question in the WordPress.org forum.

  Cheers,

  Thanks Eric for the prompt response:
  the url is https://www.heavenlymothermusic.com/
  I read about potentially installing a rollblack plugin to get back to the old theme of the website. Does this sound correct? i need to get it back, so any assistance is appreciated!
  Thanks

  Thanks for providing the URL. I’ve now confirmed you are in fact using the open-source WordPress.org so any questions will need to be in their forum.

  Try posting your question over there and see if anybody has any suggestions.
