In reply to: Update erased my site!!If the person you hired to do your customizing didn’t use a child theme for the customization, and you updated the theme, those customizations will be lost. Do you have a back up on your hosting account?
To see if you have a child theme installed, go to your dashboard -> appearance -> what themes are installed, particularly is there a theme that says it’s a child theme? What theme is active?

In reply to: Customize Loading/Website PreviewThe theme you are using can effect the customize load also. You didn’t state the site or the theme. I have noticed a difference with different themes depending on how heavy they are.

In reply to: How to see how many people click on to my websiteI use statcounter, you can get the plugin, and then set up an account at statcounter.com. You can then set up your site there. Follow the instructions. It works great.

In reply to: Home page displays instead of support pageYou somehow have the page labeled in your pages as home and support. Which page do you want to have as your home page? Take a look in your dashboard -> Pages -> home, and see what it is. It will probably be the same page.

In reply to: Home page displays instead of support pageIt looks like you figured it out, both links show the same page. Is that correct?

In reply to: How to change the color of a widgetThe best way to make changes like this to a theme is to use a child theme, so your tweaks won’t be overwritten when updating the theme. Here are some guides in case you haven’t made one before:

In reply to: [Customizr] How do I place a shadow box around imagesI feel like an idiot, I was tired I guess. I know it should have been .page-id-# (banging my head against the wall)
