Website layout changed after domain renewal
-
Hey! My name is Kristin Vollset, and I set up a wordpress site a year ago. My page newly expired, on the 2nd of october, and I just renewed the domain registration.
However, my site no longer looks like it used to, the layout has changed, and the presentation is very bad.
How can I get my website back to how it used to be?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hey there,
This usually corrects itself once the domain has been updated. Let me know if it still doesn’t look right in 24 hours.

hey! yeah its still doesn’t look right. its looks like its been taken over by a new template. the front page is covered up, and the layout on the other pages is wrong too. any ideas to how I can get it back to normal?
-
Hmm. According to your blog’s log, your theme hasn’t changed in over a year. Can you find which page is supposed to be your front page?

Is the menu still set up correctly?

Yeah I didnt want to change the theme, I liked the theme. But it seems like all the adjustments I made to the theme have been reset, so now the layout of my site looks nothing like how it was before. And I cant get it back to the way it was. It seems like the settings within the theme have changed. And most of my music links won’t play either. And there is a new template which is covering up the front page. And the layout and colour of all the subsections have changed as well.

Okay. I think I understand what happened. You had a WordPress.com Premium plan trial on your account that expired on October 10, when the payment for the domain processed. The Premium trial included the Custom Design upgrade, which likely made your site look completely different. Without the Custom Design upgrade, you can not change colors or fonts or add any custom CSS.
Does this look like what you’re looking for:

yes thats a lot closer to how it originally was! there are still a few mistakes, but yeah thats very close. how do I get back this customised version?
and thanks for taking the time to look into it!

In order to use this Customized version, you’ll need to purchase the Custom Design upgrade. You can find that here:
Once you do that, your site should go back to the way you see it at that link. :)
