Hey websta,
With the recent version switch from 1.5.6 to 1.8.1 the theme options panel changed. The new theme options panel used a different database to store information. But fear not, there is a script in the theme options that allows you to import your customizations into the new options panel. It’s in the second to last tab of the theme options.
There are some great benefits of this options panel, and one of theme is a better backup system built in when you need to transfer or save you settings.
If you have any problems getting your settings back let me know I’d be happy to help. And PS since this switch is done future updates won’t have this issue. Since there is no plan to switch the options panel again 🙂

Hi
Please please help I have just updated to 1.8.1 and lost 2mnths work, website and business, and I really, really, really need to get it back as soon as possible. why does this happen? where can I undo this action?
Can u tell me where the customizations are kept so I can import them? I only know site building basics but am not that tech savvy so please explain in non-computer coding language please.
Thank you in advance.

No bother I have figured it out, but would be good to have a bigger warning sign with that update.
Thx
