    I inadvertently changed the theme on my blog and when I changed it back the site is all screwed up. I would like to restore my site to it’s former glory and have tried a few restore functions but none seem to make much of a difference.

    Can you help.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    I have been trying to get the site back to the way it was but am not able to make the custom CSS work for me. I am not sure that it is working the way it should. Previously I made a number of changes with CSS without any problem. Now I get nothing. I have cleared my cache a few times and deleted the wordpress cookies with no change. I have 5 months remaining on CSS subscription so that is not the issue.

    If you could do some magic restore thing to get it back to where it was a few days ago that would be great.

    When I was applying the theme I thought it doing it for a .org site I am helping a friend with. I was quite disappointed when I found out I just trashed my own site.

    I have managed to restore quite a bit of the site but my main concern now is to get some colour back on the page background.

    Many thanks in advance.

    There has to be something wrong with the CSS on my site. If I put the CSS code into the W3 tryit editor it works fine. But not when I put it into the CSS editor on my site. Here is what I am putting into both editors.

    body
    {
    background-color:#c0d0e5;
    }

    Who would have figured that a background color would be under a silly heading like #wrap.

    #wrap {
    background-color: #c0d0e5;
    margin: 0 auto;
    padding: 0 30px 30px;
    width: 960px;
    }

    Hi Bob – You can restore any of your previous CSS revisions by clicking the ‘CSS Revisions’ link in the upper righthand corner above the CSS editor. Your full CSS edits before you switched themes will be in one of those revisions and you can just click to restore it. :)
