 * Hello, I changed my layout by mistake from Boxed to Wide and now it does not 
   want to change it back. I select the option “Boxed” and save and publish but 
   it does not change it. Now the site is boxed in some places (blog body) and not
   all (like heading and bootstrap slider) the background image is gone (though 
   it is selected in the options). Please help. The site looks terrible Thanks!

 * Please help now the site looks worse. All the typography customization (type 
   of font, color etc.) seems lost and the main site background is transparent

 * Hi,
 * Your dynamic css file is encountering 500 internal server error.

 * 1) Try re-installing theme. and see if it fixes your issue, if not…
 * 2) Did you add any code to your Theme Options -> Custom CSS recently?
    If yes,
   remove those codes that you added recently.
 * 3) If not…
    You should copy all your code in Theme Options -> Custom CSS and 
   save them in a text file as backup. Then delete everything in Theme Options -
   > Custom CSS and see if your site loads properly.
 * Thanks!

 * Hello Denzel,
 * Thank you for your prompt response! I really love evolve and would love to make
   it work again. No I didn’t add any CSS recently. Actually I am helping build 
   have another site that has exactly the same customization problem right after
   installing it.
 * We submitted a support request for that site as well.

 * So I doubt it is the CSS code. I deleted the CSS code I had anyways. It was one
   you had given me to change the size of the images so it seems pretty harmless
 * span.thumbnail-post img {
    width: 150px !important; height: 150px !important;}
   but I still cannot customize the theme. I doesn’t use the current options (typography,
   background, etc.) or let me save new options. What should I try now? deactivate
   and activate again?
 * Thanks a lot for your help

 * Thanks!
