 * If I update my website it overwrites all the changes I made in the website. This
   is when I update in public html. When I try it in private html there is no change.
   It stays the same. What must I do to make the update?
    Thank you.

 * What do you mean by “update”? What do you mean by “private html”?
 * It sounds like you may be using an aggressive caching plugin. What happens when
   you clear that cache?

 * I put — before the private html and nothing happends so I think I can delete 
   it.
    It occured when I installed SSL I think.
 * Th update is updating the theme.

 * You seem to be using version 1.8 of your theme. Is this the version released 
   on 6 July 19?
 * You said it overwrote the changes you made. What changes were those and how did
   you make them?

 * Update your theme to the current version. Do not make changes to theme files 
   or your updates will be lost when you update the theme.
