    Hi,
    I am using X Theme Integrity 4.3.2 and the latest wordpress 4.4.1.
    Wordpress seems to have installed some other themes by default when we started with wordpress (called2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 themes).
    My question is, is it safe to delete these default themes or are they in some way used or referenced by X theme.
    Thanks in advance
    Michael

    Hi there,

    Thanks for writing in! It is safe to delete theme. X doesn’t reference anything from those themes. Although it may be good to keep one of them just as a fallback, in case something ever goes wrong with your site and you need to switch back to a default theme to be able to access your site. This is rare, and you can always FTP a theme in if needed. So it is safe to delete them.

    Hope this helps – thanks!
