Title: Major CSS Problems… PLEASE HELP! Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Major CSS Problems… PLEASE HELP! * [Phillip97](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phillip97/) * (@phillip97) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/major-css-problems-please-help/) * I’ve done a horrible thing.. I starting editing my CSS in my theme without backing it up first. I have messed up the theme, and my homepage. I don’t know what to do. I have tried to restore my site by my web hosting provider (FatCow,) but that doesn’t seem to do anything. Maybe I’m not doing it correctly. What should I do? Do I try to restore the theme back to the original? That would be tons of work lost… Someone please help… This is extremely frustrating.. * [http://extramilegames.com](http://extramilegames.com) * Thanks, Phillip Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/major-css-problems-please-help/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/major-css-problems-please-help/page/2/?output_format=md) * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/major-css-problems-please-help/#post-2970737) * Before you create CSS, you should use either the following; ★ Child Theme – [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) ★ Custom Style plugin – [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-style/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-style/) * [cadfile](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cadfile/) * (@cadfile) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/major-css-problems-please-help/#post-2970763) * You would need to copy the original CSS file from the theme back onto your server overwriting the one that is there now. * Thread Starter [Phillip97](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phillip97/) * (@phillip97) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/major-css-problems-please-help/#post-2970857) * Will I lose all my content, or will I be able to put it back on? * [Max](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clementsm/) * (@clementsm) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/major-css-problems-please-help/#post-2970860) * Your content is stored in the WordPress database, and your assets (images etc) is stored in `wp-content/uploads`, so if you just delete and replace the theme in `wp-content/themes/theme/` you should be fine. * I see you are using LeetPress from ThemeForrest. This is a premium theme, so we cannot give you any support on it here. You will have to login to their support page where you bought the theme and re-download its stylesheet from there – or ask them for help * Thread Starter [Phillip97](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phillip97/) * (@phillip97) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/major-css-problems-please-help/#post-2970966) * So I just deleted Leetpress, and now in the WordPress dashboard it says, “ERROR: The themes directory is either empty or doesn’t exist. Please check your installation.” * What should I do now? * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/major-css-problems-please-help/#post-2970968) * In the dashboard, can you still activate other themes? * Thread Starter [Phillip97](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phillip97/) * (@phillip97) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/major-css-problems-please-help/#post-2970969) * Now I can.. I deleted it and reinstalled it… It still looks the same…. I have tried to contact the author of the theme, but I got no response. * Where would I find the original CSS? * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/major-css-problems-please-help/#post-2970970) * Have you tried downloading the theme again? * Thread Starter [Phillip97](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phillip97/) * (@phillip97) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/major-css-problems-please-help/#post-2970972) * Yes.
