 * **_[Do not post in all caps – it’s considered yelling]_**
 * Just updated Eclipse theme to 2.0 and it completely changed by website look. 
   I am livid, now I have to spend precious time to figure out how to get my website
   back to the way it was. Can anyone help?

 * Had you made changes to theme files? Did you backup before updating?

 * That is no fun at all. Has happened to me one too many times.
 * Sometimes your hosting will keep automatic backups of your files. I recommend
   contacting them to see if you’re paying for that feature.
 * For the future, create a child theme to prevent this from happening again.

 * Okay so for the little blurb about not posting in caps because it’s considered
   yelling…I KNOW!!!!!!!!…why do you think I wrote it in capitals? I was venting,
   but thanks for listening.
    So I spent about 3 hours, trying to get my website
   back to half decent and I managed to figure it out, and am now pleased with the
   results so I’ve calmed down. Thanks for the tips and will make sure to create
   a child theme… Just so I don’t have to search again “how to” can someone explain
   how to create a child theme??
