    If you edited the theme files directly, then your only “quick” way out of this is to try as best you can to merge your changes into the new theme. There’s no easy way out of this. And, of course, you’ll have to fight the same battle the next time you update the theme.

    The right thing to have done — which I recommend you invest the time to do now to save yourself from this problem in the future — is to implement your code changes in a child theme, and never edit the original theme.

    As to how to merge your code changes into the new theme or implement your changes in a child theme — like what files to edit and whatnot, no one here can give that specific advice because:

    1. The Fatsome theme is a commercial product, and we don’t have access to the code to know how the theme’s code is structured.
    2. No one here knows what code customizations you made

    If you need further guidance beyond this, I recommend getting in touch with your theme’s vendor — the folks you purchased the theme from — for assistance: https://uxthemes.com/support/

    Good luck!
