Clean re-install of a theme

  • Hello,

    Before I knew what a child theme was, I made some (undocumented) changes directly to the theme (Debut). I’d like to start again with a child theme but am having trouble getting rid of the old changes.

    I’ve switched to 20-12 and uninstalled/reinstalled several times but when I can still see some of the changes I made:

    1) the search widget that comes in the header stays deleted. I’m not sure, but I think the format is different too

    2) my customized menu comes back.

    I don’t know these changes are hiding but would like to start from a clean install.

    Also, in the process of trying to figure out what’s going on I deleted a couple of index.php files that just said “silence is golden” Was this a mistake?

    Thanks, Ann

  • According to me you should delete all the source files of the theme from your server (assuming that the theme is already uninstalled).
    Please let me know the result.

    I can’t figure out which additional source files need to be removed, or where they are. WP removes the folder marked “debut.”

    Thanks.

    If you are unable to see the changes, please clear and the browser cache and cookies and try again.
