# 2012 theme

 * I set up WP with a hosting provider and had the 2012 theme.
    I recently changed
   hosting providers and when they reinstalled WP for me and I logged into my site,
   it defaulted to the 2013 theme. I would like to use the 2012 theme. (There wasn’t
   much there so the reinstall didn’t hurt anything) I did go into themes and chose
   the “activate” option and my site is now set to 2012. Do I have to do anything
   else so that this change is permanent, like FTP my WP files again? Thank you 
   for your help.

 * If you find OK with your change of theme, it’s fine. You don’t need to do anything
   else. If you want to modify/ customize your theme permanently, create a child
   theme and then modify it so that the changes will be permanent even after updating
   your theme from time to time.

 * Thank you for your quick answer!
    I won’t be modifying or customizing the code
   for the theme , I just want to use it as is. So will my theme stay as 2012 even
   if WordPress does additional updates? I think the answer is yes to that, just
   making sure.

 * Yes, the theme will be 2012 even if WordPress updates the theme.
