 * I am a completely inexperienced salesperson who decided to try to update my company’s
   website. It was created in 2011 using a custom theme, which was not adaptable
   to mobile. In the process of experimenting with different themes, I changed the
   theme of our website and have been unable to change back to the previously designed
   custom theme.
 * I don’t recall deleting anything . . is there any chance the old theme is still“
   saved” somewhere? I would like to be able to go back to the way the website looked
   before I started messing with it.
 * Thanks
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcant-return-to-custom-theme%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I can’t guarantee that this would work, but maybe try backing up your current
   theme (preferably via FTP so you have a hard copy of it), and then using this
   plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rollback/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rollback/)?
   The theme your site is currently using (assuming it’s the one you’re having trouble
   with) is OceanWP, which is hosted in the WordPress theme repository. So, in theory,
   you could just roll the theme back to a previous version. If worse comes to worse,
   you could always just replace the theme with your backed up version and be back
   where you started.
