January 28, 2013 at 2:48 pm in reply to: Restore theme design settings (colors, sizes, margins, etc) from backup file #15691dogleg.comMember
I have the backup files. I used the one ending in SQL to restore my database.
I have tried 7 times to use the other file in some way to restore my info via Filezilla, and although it goes through thousands of files and says they are transferred, nothing is done. I am doing something wrong?
Can anyone give me steps to do this?
January 28, 2013 at 2:46 pm in reply to: Restore theme design settings (colors, sizes, margins, etc) from backup file #15688dogleg.comMemberNo, I hadn't checked. I just did, and there was no information.
What is the point in having a plugin (Simple Backups) if you can't get your information back?
January 28, 2013 at 2:30 pm in reply to: Restore theme design settings (colors, sizes, margins, etc) from backup file #15676dogleg.comMemberI used the plugin Simple Backups.
The instructions in the wordpress.org sheet are not helpful--my database is there. Do I have to load something else into my database besides my SQL backup file?

I did something by accident to set my theme back to a previous version/setting. I corrected my SQL database (restored from my backup file from my WP backup plugin) but my blog pages are all messed up–colors back to what I had them at 2 weeks ago, etc. My backup is from yesterday evening at 8 p.m. That won’t correct everything but will save me about 3 days worth of work if I can get my design settings back. I have Prose.
I have tried uploading and replacing various WP and Theme folders via Filezilla–but nothing changes (although all the files are transferred successfully–over 1,000 of them). I need some serious help before I jump out the window.
Thanks so much for any help you can give…

@alirat Typekit does have a plug in. They give you an ID and after you enter it, you can customize some font selectors from a box they have on their site; however, I don't think it allows for font stacks. Typekit is super-helpful and easy to use.Thank you @SoZo and @wendycholbi--very helpful!

dogleg.comMember@Susan--
Thank you for your reply. I know that I have a page "Custom Code" in the Genesis tab on toolbar. Is that where I should put all changes?
If not, please let me know where.
If so, then I have some changes in the CSS box now, which someone placed there for me (I am not sure it will work or even if I will use it). It looks like this:
/** Do not remove this line. Edit CSS below. */
add_filter('genesis_comment_form_args', 'custom_comment_form_args');
function custom_comment_form_args($args) {
$args['title_reply'] = 'YOUR CHOSEN TEXT HERE';
return $args;Now, my biggest question is, if this is the area, then how exactly do I place further changes? on the line following "return $args;" or skip a line, or add some extra heading telling it what to do, or doesn't it matter? Also, I do not know when something might belong in the CSS area as opposed to the Custom Functions area. Can I just copy out of my style sheet and paste it in here and then modify it as I'd like?
I also have a Genesis Simple Hooks plugin--it looks like changes can be made there as well. I know it seems simple to you, but when instructions just say "insert this snippet of code"--I don't know where or above/below what, or in what order. If you could please clue me in a little, I would be very grateful. And, if I am understanding you, I should not make any changes to my style.css sheet because those are just wiped out with every update.
I want to add/create some font stacks--where would I do that? I am installing certain fonts from Typekit, and I know that the code is already in there for me. However, I have learned that they will not transfer to everyone, and I need to put font stacks in to cover all my bases so that an especially ugly generic font will not be substituted for mine. I know how to make the font string, I just don't know what information is needed on top of that (such as code that tells the theme what to do and when to stop on the beginning and end of code snippet). I cannot find answers anywhere, and everyone seems to know except me.
So Sorry this is so long-----I can move it to another area if you can't answer.
Thanks

I have almost the same question as above...
I have looked at other discussions in the forum, but honestly, most of the answers are over my head. I am also wondering about updating my theme (prose). I just updated to 1.9.1, and doing so fixed a problem I was having with my selections in font color, background color, etc. not showing up--now they are there. However, another "fix" I had done (I'm not even sure I remember how now) that moved my uploaded image in my header to the left, and my title to the right side, is undone now.
I know everyone says "update Appearance----Style----style.css" area, but doesn't that get overwritten by an update? And I am also wondering why it says "do not edit under any circumstances" if everyone is editing there...?
Also, if that is so, I have read information about creating another folder, but I can't understand the discussion/solutions. I need some exact instructions in simple terms. This is my first blog and I am used to working in easy things like Publisher and Pagemaker.
Can anyone help me?
I am not including link to my site because it is in "maintenance" mode. If you really think you can help me, I will deactivate if you let me know.
I am trying to get this up in the next day or so. Thanks SO much!!
Paula
