Template settings gone after template folder name change

Posted in: Newspaper

Because of the problems I’ve renamed Newspaper theme folder to NewspaperOLD and installed Newspaper theme from the zip file. Problems were not solved, but when I removed the Newspaper folder and renamed NewspaperOLD to Newspaper some of my settings are gone. Especially in color settings.
What should I restore to get back my settings? I thought that all of them are stored on the database?

Hi,

Please notice that all the theme settings are stored in the database. The theme save its settings in the database under td_011 option in the wp_options table – https://www.screencast.com/t/QKdHvukM8dej Also, for importing/exporting the theme settings, you can try using the theme functionality for this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/p9j3aAfoB199

Hope this helps!

Thanks.

Hi.
Yes, I know that.
So what can be a reason for loosing of settings, when I moved the template folder?
How to restore them without restoring the whole website?
I have a full backup, but it’s 20GB of files and 151MB database size – so I don’t want to restore all but only necessary files.
After the database restores on dev version colors went back. If I export settings from it and import to this with broken colors nothing changes :/.
Where it can be stored on the database?
Best regards. Pawel

Hi,

Unfortunately, this should not have happened, sorry! Another alternative for you would be to export and import from your database, only the theme settings from here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/Be53kaKoC

Thanks for your understanding!
