Have you left?

I’d like to keep the same theme I built it on. I’ve already shown it to the person I’m building it for, and to change the design now would not be good.

Lesson to self: Look into backup plugins.

I’ve been trying to fix this for hours, how far back would I have to go to start over? Could I keep my pages, links, and any other content? Since the only changes I made were small as you saw, maybe that would be the fastest way to get me going again.

The last thing I did was try to move a placed logo in my header above my navigation .

I was so friggin releved, but it did’t help.

First, let me confirm that you are aware that the only file in my child theme folder is one .css file. If the issue is in the child theme, once I removed that .css file wouldn’t those revisions just not occur?

I’ve only placed about four revisions in it.

FYI:This is it

Oh, I see that the plugins are higher in the directory stucture, so they wouldn’t be affected. Would it be better to replace only the twentytwelve folder?

I have formatted a lot of content in the site already using the dashboard, won’t that styling and the widgets be lost?

No .css file in the child’s theme folder now.

What if I were to totally replace the original theme? Would the content be lost?

A stylesheet does exist in the original theme folder at this time.

Oh, when I select Appearance I am notified that
“The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

twentytwelve-child Stylesheet is missing.”

Does that refer to the original parent stylesheet or the child stylesheet?

While trying to troubleshoot earlier I replaced the original to make sure I hadn’t revised it.

I do have MAMP installed, but I don’t know how to set up these files to it. Would I need to connect them for the php to work?

How else could I open the original index.php except from my host? If I open an unedited index.php from my computer the php scripts don’t work. Sorry, I’m a confused novice. I do not have a database setup at home.

I don’t suppose you could tell me how to get that url, knowing that I’m working from a child theme labeled twentytwelve-child that is at the same root directory as twentytwelve?
It’s confusing me that I am not using a common url.
I’m using https://69.195.124.169/~ecoactor/
