Hi,

I’m currently running a free theme – I’m not very good with themes but have managed getting it looking they way I like with the pages set up nicely, grids, widgets and whatnot. But now I’m thinking I may have picked a theme that’s too conservative and doesn’t fit my brand. I’m thinking of changing it but am worried that if I want to go back to how it is now all my theme customisation will be lost. Can anyone please advise?

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

If you want to explore themes and try them out on your site without losing the existing customization, you can make use of the ‘Preview Themes’ feature. This will give you a live preview of the theme with your content. You can go ahead and activate the theme only if you like it on your site.
For more details, please refer to ‘Preview Themes’ in the support document https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/
