Hi, I appreciate the fact that the ‘Fresh and Clean’ theme has been retired (https://wordpress.com/theme/fresh-and-clean), but I nonetheless am managing a site that still uses it. Could you please provide instructions for how the home page carousel works. I can’t remember how the images got there or how I remove them. https://tthsalumnifund.wordpress.com/.

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

The post slider appears on the front page if and only if you set featured images of the size required by the theme and mark them as sticky posts.

Featured Images at least 840 pixels wide.
(optimum width is 290 pixels for featured images)

Featured Images as Post Thumbnails
If you add a Featured Image to non-sticky posts, or if you add a small Featured Image to a Sticky Post, that image will appear as a prominent post thumbnail beside the post on the front page, archive pages, and in search results.
Fresh & Clean
Sticky Posts Featured Slider: 840 x 280
Thumbnail: 160 x 120

P.S. Fresh and Clean is a retired theme and themes are retired when they no longer support all WordPress.com features. http://theme.wordpress.com/retired/fresh-and-clean/

I suggest a theme change is in order.

We have a preview function. No content is lost when switching themes on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. It does not matter if the site is private or public.

Provided you are logged in as Admin under the username account that registered the site go to https://wordpress.com/themes and type in your key words, or the name of theme.

If you are not logged in under the correct WordPress.COM username account then clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies prior to logging into another account

If you did not register the site and do not have the required access you need to contact the person who registered the account and site under it and have them either act, or transfer the site to your username account by using this process. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

re: switching themes

Themes are just “skins” on WordPress.COM hosted blogs.
Note that switching themes https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/#switch-themes can be easily done, provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the site, you to

http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/themes.php

*Replace NAME_OF_BLOG in that URL with the actual name of your blog. wp-admin/themes.php

The theme customizer https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/ provides a preview function for exactly that purpose ie. so you can view what a theme will appear like prior to changing one.
