Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [YITH Wonder] Site disrupted due to installation of ElementorHi Victor, thanks for getting back to me. I wish it was just a revision of the content of the post or page, but this is of another nature. Unfortunately I can send a screen shot, and I’m a bit of a “technical” dummie, so I’ll share a big story to explain, but what it looks like is this:
- I had registered with Bluehost, bought a domain name, choose a theme and got started with it. As you will know the theme comes with some default pages, like Home, About, Contact, Blog, Sample page. If I wanted to change the the layout, text or template of the pages connected with the them I had to go to the left top side of the screen, click on the domain name and go to “visit website”. From there I could go to “Edit Site” to go to the default pages and templates which came with the chosen theme.
- It was working well, although I had some technical problems with the Blog page and posts. Therefore I had asked for some advise and someone mentioned that with Elementor I could solve those problem. So I installed Elementor plugin.
- So I activated that plugin, thinking it would just be some kind of tool to improve the functioning of the website, but Elementor comes with it’s own themes as well.
- What I didn’t realise what that by installing Elementor, the Bluehost theme was overriden. Because it it seems that the Site is gone,
- Everything is changed a bit, header, footer, but also the font and use of default colors, spacing of blocks, layout of page, all changed a bit.
- So what I then did, was deactive Elementor plugin, hoping my website would go back to normal, but it didn’t.
- When I go to themes I do see the theme I have been using, but I’m afraid that when I reactive the theme that I will need to start over from scratch to set up the basic structure of the website inclusing the content I have written.
- I did find back ups which I could restore and try to see if that works, and help restore the initial version without the elementor plugin. So I think the only thing I can do is restore one of the back ups which were automatically created by Jetpack. Going back a day and hope this will revert and restore the website
