Accidentally fed sourdough starter wrong kind of flour on day 5
So I saw another post on this forum that discussed a similar topic and people responded that the starter wasn’t dead and to just resume normal feeding. However, my starter is only on day 5 and not fully developed yet, so I’m concerned that the sudden change in flour (normally half white wheat and half bread, but I replaced the bread flour with all purpose) might shock the yeast or something. This is my first time making a starter (and my first time on this sight), so am I just worrying too much?

Just go back to the original next feed. Not a big deal.
The difference between bread flour and all purpose is small and it is only about protein that the organisms are not really concerned with. If you didn't know you had done it, there would be no way to tell. You should be fine.
