I’ve lost all configuration done on my newspaper template in wp-admin! Don’t know what happens and more important I’ve touched nothing, configuration saved with hours and hours of works are gone! Please tell me where conf file are stored, database fields or in a file on server? I need this info to try to get a backup copy from yesterday.
Theme settings don’t “suddenly” disappear, so good idea to change your account logins/passwords asap.
Normally you should be “exporting” your theme settings after hours of work to ensure you have backups; and/or periodically doing a mysql dbase dump (the tools > export saves content, but not theme settings!).
No way to “revert” unless you have a backup to do so.
Good idea to check the actual theme panels to see if the settings are still there (AFTER YOU CHANGE YOUR ADMIN PASSSWORD!).
Note a lot of WP sites got hacked this past week due to so many people not updating WP for the security patches. So, also good to scan your site with the free securi scanner tool online.
I know I should have done an export of my config file, but I haven’t done it. I only have a backup of db and files of my site from prev backup ( start from yesterday ), so technically I should be able to retrieve config in prev db tables if I only knew where config is stored in db. I’ve always update the wp core files and plugins to the new versions, maybe I’ve some malware in my wp site, I don’t know, I’ll check soon. I’ve already changed my admin password.
Hello,
You can find a key in the database called ‘wp_options’ and under that you will find an option name called ‘td_011’. That will contain all the options in your theme panel. But you cannot copy over the data directly as it’s a different format. We have not tested getting the theme panel settings back from the db manually so i cannot provide a precise response for this. you will have to use a bit of trial and error if you know your way around coding.
Thank you!
