 * I logged into my site and it didn’t look right. Turns out that somehow, my style.
   css file was reset to the original downloaded version. I spent hours customizing
   the site css and it’s all gone. Why? Has this happened to anyone else.

 * It turns out that all of my Zerif files were reset. Maybe there was an update.
   20 hours of work lost.

 * Hello,
 * The reason why you lost all your CSS customizing is because you didn’t create
   a child theme: [http://docs.themeisle.com/article/14-how-to-create-a-child-theme](http://docs.themeisle.com/article/14-how-to-create-a-child-theme)
 * Best regards,
    Alexandra
