  Hello,

  I was trying to customize the Theme Footer on our website.

  Once I clicked the “Update File” button, it accidentally deleted the CSS on the Theme Footer.

  Is there any way I can recover the previous revision as of this morning?

  Our domain is: http://www.allamericanbushing.com

  Thank you,

  Hi! We wouldn’t have backups of that, as your site seems to be with Bluehost rather than our services. Here’s the difference:

  If you were editing the CSS through Customize > CSS, WordPress should automatically save a revision for you.

  If you were editing footer.php instead, you may just be able to get a fresh copy from your theme itself, by downloading a clean copy and uploading the footer. Also, I highly recommend against editing a theme directly. You’ll want to use a child theme instead:

  Going forward, you’ll want to use the correct forum for self-managed WordPress installations:

  Hoping this helps!
