Just opgarded to Version 2.8.6 – and lost my styling!!!

You probably modified one of the default templates, without copying that theme to a new directory.

There’s no way you can undo that, unless you have a good backup.

Thanks Peter….
Thanks for responding…

Fortunately I found some older css-styling and php-scripts, that I have modified earlier… And I’ve now overwritten the upgrade with this…
It almost looks the way it should, but there is still some cleaning to do… So there is hope now… I was just about to give up on the whole project… ! I was so devastated…

But now I can see a light at the end of the loooong tunnel…

You’re right. I just modified the first default template, and it worked like a charm. Untill today… My bad I guess – I just didn’t know better… i didn’t think an upgrade would mess up in my stylesheet..

Peter, could you please telle me: what do I do, when I’ve finished my work getting the site back to “normal”, to avoid this failiure happening again?
I’ve both added a sidebar with mutiple widgets and the stylesheet is also modified…

(You can now see the modiefied template on my site: https://www.lineofbeauty.dk)

yes, create a new theme directory, in /wp-content/theme

and give it a name of your likings (‘custom’, or ‘myown’ will do).

Copy the entire contents of default/ to custom/ (or myown/), and modify the style.css and change the name of the theme (somewhere at the top of that file).

Then choose this theme in the admin backend. All done! The theme will not ever get overwritten ever…

Peter

Okay… That sounds easy. I’ll try that out… Thanks again for helping…

I’m considering finding an whole other theme that matches my needs more precisely, than the defalut one, and then kind of taking it from the top all over. But more efficient this time…

But thanks, Peter.
For being there… ??

Just watched a series with a Danish actress, and this then I have special feelings for Danish girls ??
