    My blog is in a shared hosting environment, the default theme has been modified to match my site (www.trainertainment.net) by a third party. Well I just upgraded to the newest version and the blog went back to the origianl themed look. If I would have stopped long enough to think (which ususlly gets me in trouble) I would have realized that the and would not have upgraded. Whihc files do I need to copy back to the site to get my cistomized thenne back? Also my settings as far as the content on side bar was changed. Does this happen after each update? If so what do I need to do to prevent this from happening? Thanks in advance for your help.

    When upgrading, just leave the folder wp-content.
    Then nothing in your theme will be changed.
    Upgrading should affect your root files and the wp-admin and wp-include-folders & subfolders.

    actually, the automatic upgrade will overwrite the 2 themes that ship with wordpress.

    If you build your own theme off of either of those 2, you really only need to rename the directory that the files are in, in order to save that from happening.

    So what file is it that I have to replace with the modified copies?

    unless you had modified copies of the changed files from the customization saved on your computer or elsewhere you are out of luck
