    I had my blog near where I wanted it. Went in to do some changes. Saved the style.css code on my desktop, or so I thought. When I didn’t like the new changes, copied the old code into the style.css file and it is not the same. Not sure what I did wrong. How do I recover my backup from WordPress Backup to Dropbox? I can’t find the right support with them. I also have WP Backup installed. Completely lost, and bummed.

    Hello!

    If you have a backup file, than in most cases you can do the restore manually. In the case of a css file, it should be really easy.
    I am not familiar with this plugin specifically, but almost every backup plugins creates it’s backups the same way. If you open the backup file in Dropbox, or wherever it is (it is usually some sort of compressed file), it should contain the folders and files of your wordpress installaion, with the same structure as in the wp-content' folder on your hosting account if you open it with an FTP software. I don't know what theme you are using, but in WordPress every theme is in the folderwp-content/themes/*your theme’s name*/. If you open that folder, there should be yourstyle.cssfile. In order to restore that, you will have to simply upload thatstyle.css` from the backup to your hosting account with your FTP software, overwriting the current style.css file there. And basically that’s it, your style.css is restored.

    Greetings,
