   Hello everybody,

   I found and downloaded a theme that I really liked, but messed it up by changing some settings.

   I erased the download and tried redownloading and installing, but I get this message:

   Unpacking the package.

   Installing the theme.

   Destination folder already exists. /home/content/c/a/p/captainhatty/html/wp-content/themes/dolphins/

   Theme Install Failed

   Can anyone tell me what I need to do to be able to reinstall a freshly downloaded version of this theme.

   Thanks for any help you can provide me.

   delete the /dolphins folder
   then try the auto install again

   or a video to do it manually

   Thanks for your reply.

   I followed the instructions on the video on how to do it manually and it worked, sort of. I was able to delete the theme and then manually reapply the newly downloaded one, but the images are still missing.

   I know it has to do with the fact that I went in and tried to change some background font colors etc...

   do you know if there is anyway to simply bring back the default themes that I originally began with. So I can "start over" and not mess with the colors.

   Thanks for your help.
