Hello,

I accidentally deleted the Default theme when I was configuring a new theme for a test. Is it possible I can re-add it so I can configure it again?

Hello,

You can easily add the `Default` theme again with creating a new theme on admin like this.

1. Click the Install button  

2. Click the Create New tab and set name `Default` to the theme then click Create.  

3. Check in the Theme is enabled by default field and select the Light color palette. (but I believe this will happen automatically)  

That’s it! 🙂

It can easily recover by rerun the wizard too. Actually this is a super fast way.

1. Go to `/wizard/steps/styling`  
This will go to the 5th step.  
On this page click the Next (it will add the Default theme) so after you click this button you can close the wizard or click the Jump in! button on the next page.

That’s it! 🙂
