 * I have cleared all cache in everywhere I can think.
 * what would “Restore Defaults” do for me? what will it remove?

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems?
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.
 * – re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a **fresh** download
   of WordPress?

 * Resetting defaults didn’t help
 * hope you didn’t mean “in this order” —
    updated thru admin to Workpress 2.9.2—
   didn’t work.
 * refreshing plugins folder now will keep you updated.

 * i don’t know what to tell you. all plugins off. plugin folder “refreshed”2or3times
   switched themes but most including fusion do not have the level of control of
   mystique. only thing that i have not done is ftp up new wp files. . . (hour or
   more using godaddy) have updated to latest wordpress package. . . thru admin...
 * this could be anything but went to bed very near finishing 3 month project and
   woke up in hell.

 * I have replaced all of wp-admin and wp-includes manually.
    Still no luck. . .
 * Again the issue is — I can restore a very current copy the site db, but 1. it
   tells me I have activated the second sidebar (which I did not)and 2. I am unable
   to control the column width. so when I submit any changes to the Mystique settings
   screen — the main/column width sets itself to about 20%.
 * My guess is issue arose late Monday — when I possibly did not log out of wp and
   my host performed it’s nightly backup. . .I was using IE at the time.
 * What do I do now? Please help.

 * some of your theme files belong to older versions. for some reason they were 
   not replaced when you updated mystique.
 * remove the theme, then upload a fresh copy of the theme to fix this.
 * if it still doesn’t work, press the “reset settings” button (this will remove
   all user css etc)

 * duh. . .I reset setting just now and this time it seems to have worked. . . i
   might take your advice and do the manual update of the theme. forget the backup
   I will just add this stuff back in my hand. . .

 * yes — I’ll admit it, a lot. (what are alternatives)
    I have aptana and use for
   such things as reading style.css. . .
 * This was my problem?
 * I reinstalled user css — and it hosed again. . .
    there was a whacked out comment...

 * ok I am getting there — only thing I am concerned about is the featured area —
   starred items are not appearing. . . maybe I am missing a setting?
