I have searched everything, and I cannot find out how to remove a Theme from a website design. I guess no one else has ever wanted to do this, or else it is really obvious and I just can't figure out how to do it.

1. URL to my Website: http://beachpartysandboxart.com/

2. Operating system: Windows 7

3. Version of the application. Version 7, Build 26

4. Trial or registered version. Registered

5. What specific steps have you taken to create this issue?
I have removed the Theme files from C:\Users\Ralph\Documents\CoffeeCup Software\Visual Site Designer\Themes\My Themes, but when I save the site and load it to the server, their effect is still evident. At the URL, you can see double images, offset from each other. I can remove them by actually deleting the images from my website, and I still have the images from the template, but they are in the wrong place.

I created the theme initially, just to try it out, but now I can't get rid of it from the website. My only option at this point is to start over with a new website. But it would be much easier if I could just remove the theme from the website design.

The website at this time is only one page. I won't create more until I either can remove the template, or start over.

6. Does it occur every time? Yes

7. Can you recreate the issue on another computer?
I don't have another computer.

Thank you in advance for your time!

Ralph, have you tried just deleting the graphic elements you don't want? Since you don't have a lot on the site yet, you could go to wherever you have your site saved and delete the Files folder (the one created by VSD that has the IMG files in it). That should clean out anything that came with the theme as well as your photos.
Delete anything from the theme that's still showing on your page within VSD, then re-insert your photos from their original source files. You can also choose your own page and background images and/or colors, add your own graphics and change the page size if you want.

Pretty much have to start from scratch. You'd have to edit the code to get rid of all the CSS that was added by the theme. You'd have to edit the code so the site wouldn't look for pictures and graphics installed by the theme. There's just no easy way to do it, since it wasn't designed to 'change' themes. Just start a new site, with or without a theme and copy over your main content. About all you can do.

Thank you - I'll give it a shot.

Thanks, Gunsmoke. Luckily, I'm not that far into it.

With VSD, you don't need to edit the code... just get rid of what you don't want. All the CSS is within the actual page rather than a separate file, so it gets re-written whenever you change something. Click on something and hit delete.... click on some text and change the font... View the page source and you'll see the HTML/CSS has changed.

Get rid of the VSD Files folder and that will take care of any duplicated images and lingering graphics from the theme.
Right now, there's almost nothing there, so startiing fresh would be quick and easy. Make your changes and save, VSD will create a new Files folder.
