How do I revert back to the version I was using. I updated my theme and I’ve lost all of my changes, design wise. I did save the CSS within the settings, can I just apply those, will that work? Is there a better solution?

Please Help

@Anusha: I am not sure what do you mean. Can you explain what’s not working after update.

All of the logos, default colors were set back and default positioning. I had changed the layout a bit through CSS and the logos and colors.

@Anusha: Oh you shouldn’t change any core theme files like style.css, functions.php, index.php and all. As all the customization made in core theme files will be reverted back to the latest version when you update the theme. So, all the customization should be done through Theme Options panel. For CSS changes you can add it in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box. Further, if you want to customize the functions then you need to build child theme and edit the function.

So I’ve already updated the theme and its been reverted back, I’ve lost all of my changes. I did add CSS to the Theme Options> Custom CSS but that doesn’t seem to have any effect, not sure why.

Is there any way I can go back to the previous version I had with all of the changes I had made?

@Anusha: You can download the previous version but previous version also will not have your edited file. That is why you should never customize core theme files.
