Our back up was the testing site. * Sounds like you might be correct about it only being the css. * Thread Starter [jvenezio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jvenezio/) * (@jvenezio) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recent-wordpress-update/#post-5829756) * Actually, I just checked, and most of the pages have gone back to the original coding in the theme editor. * [bernbe01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bernbe01/) * (@bernbe01) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recent-wordpress-update/#post-5829765) * nice! so it’s ok now? maybe that was wp super cache doing a preload inbetween… * as for getting back the old css, it’s worth using a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) to preserve your customizations when a theme update arrives from the theme author. there are some [plugins that can help](https://wordpress.org/plugins/child-theme-configurator/) you set one up. do you have any backups you can restore from? there are lots of great [backup plugins](https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=backup) available and i highly recommend using them as a way of snapshotting your wordpress installs. if you want any help with these let us know * if you need anything else just let us know! * Thread Starter [jvenezio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jvenezio/) * (@jvenezio) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recent-wordpress-update/#post-5830037) * It does not seem to be fixed. I was able to use a back up I had of the folder structure and recreate the site, but it happened again. * What could be causing this? Everything I change in the html/php/css goes back to what it was before I started with the exception of content with-in theme options. I am using the esell theme. * Thread Starter [jvenezio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jvenezio/) * (@jvenezio) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recent-wordpress-update/#post-5830044) * It just reverted back again. Any support would be awesome, thanks. * Thread Starter [jvenezio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jvenezio/) * (@jvenezio) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recent-wordpress-update/#post-5830070) * Can anyone help me with this? * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recent-wordpress-update/#post-5830071) * > Everything I change in the html/php/css goes back to what it was before I > started with the exception of content with-in theme options * Looks like you have a caching plugin – SuperCache – try clearing the cache. * Thread Starter [jvenezio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jvenezio/) * (@jvenezio) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recent-wordpress-update/#post-5830108) * Okay, I tried clearing the cache and I also tried deactivating the plugin SuperCache. I then reloading my code to each page to recreate the site, and it changed back again to the old format. * Thread Starter [jvenezio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jvenezio/) * (@jvenezio) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recent-wordpress-update/#post-5830120) * I do not think SuperCache was the issue here. The site still will not keep any changes. * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recent-wordpress-update/#post-5830121) * Have you tried deactivating ALL plugins and switching to a default theme (twentyfifteen) to see if that makes any difference. * It’s also possible it could be something on the server/hosting – have you checked with them? * Thread Starter [jvenezio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jvenezio/) * (@jvenezio) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recent-wordpress-update/#post-5830129) * UPDATE: * I have tried your suggestions. * * Deactivating all plugins (did not work) * Checked server hosting and disabled automatic updates (did not work) — I have multiple WordPress themes installed on different sites with-in the same hosting account and none change like this. * * I have tried creating a child theme and with great success the changes in theme editor with-in the parent theme still do not hold. — I have tried editing using NotePad++ and uploading them in multiple different ways using FileZilla and other tools provided by my hosing account. * * Deleted and reinstalled completely fresh (did not work) * All end-results come up the same. Any changes made with-in the theme editor or‘ uploading files one by one (which results in fatal errors sometimes, but this in not the issue.)’ do not stay. * If I make a change, and make the site look how I want, with-in a couple hours sometimes less sometimes more, all and ONLY files with-in theme editor including. css change back to as if I made no change. * I’m looking completely dumb in front of my client and would like to get this resolved. * Does anyone else have this issue?
