[Support request] how do you undo importing a site from library

[Ursula]

I imported the ‘wordsmith’ site from the library thinking that it was a theme within GeneratePress that I could choose as an option with some of the pages. I intended to use it only for my blog page and for other stand-alone articles. The trouble was it completely changed my home page and I need to get rid of it. How do I do that?

Hi there,

This article should help: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/removing-imported-site/

Let me know 🙂

Thanks, that helped a lot but how does it deal with the changes in the css? will it bring the site header or the side bar back?
I tried the reset plugin on another, less important, site and it did clear all the design but I am not sure I want to go that far?
Basically, I need the site header and side bar back and a narrower content area. Will I be able install a different site from the library if I get rid of the over-simple one I previously installed?

It should undo everything.

You don’t need to start with a site in the site library.

A lot of those options can be done with customizer options:

Let me know if this helps or if you need more info 🙂

Thanks, that helps a lot. It seems quite clear now. I will be working on it again on Monday. Thank you for your help.

You’re welcome 🙂
