Deleted Theme…is it gone forever?

    I deleted the wrong theme via the site admin (as opposed to FTP) and I was wondering if it is gone forever. It’s an older theme that I spent a lot of time customizing and can’t simply reupload it, as I don’t have the files anymore on my computer. The files are gone from my ftp …am I just screwed? Is it gone forever?

    Interesting update… I started editing the mobile version of another theme through my ftp & all of a sudden, my whole blog stopped showing up. I reverted the mobile version back to the original code and looked at the blog’s dashboard on the wp admin. For some reason, it said that my themes directory was empty, even though it shouldn’t have been.

    When I clicked the link to view that page, my old theme (the one I deleted & made this thread about.) was back and the new one was gone! I activated the old one and looked in my ftp so I could redownload/backup the files for it, but it wasn’t listed there.

    It’s like a ghost theme or something. The files must exist somewhere because they’re showing up on my site, but I’m afraid to switch themes for fear that it’ll go away again. Anyone have any ideas how I can get access to the theme code so I can back it up?

    I have no idea what’s going on, but the files are back. Not going to question it, just happy to see my code!
