Where are the settings stored for the template changes?

Hello,

Where are the settings stored for changes made to the theme’s layout via tag div composer? I deleted items out of my footer that I want to restore without having to restore the entire database and/or files on my site. I am unable to use undo in tag div composer so I need to manually restore the original settings. Where is this data stored?

Hi,

You can try to revert an old revision on a page/template -> https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/complete-guide-to-wordpress-post-revisions/

Thank you!

That is not what I asked nor did that suggestion work. I asked WHERE ARE THE SETTINGS STORED FOR CHANGES MADE TO THE LAYOUT IN TAGDIV COMPOSER!? I made changes to my FOOTER that I want to revert. Changes to the footer are not stored in the post as I’ve restored the post and the changes were not reverted. I am asking a simple question, where are the settings stored for the footer? Is it the database, a file, where!?!

Hi,

You need to use revision on the footer template, not on the post https://i.imgur.com/W4aY1YB.png -> https://i.imgur.com/msHQIBI.png -> https://i.imgur.com/Pex1veN.png

Hi,

Thanks for your prompt response.

For some reason there weren’t any revisions to restore. However, I did make note of the post number that contains the footer settings after visiting “Cloud Templates” in the wordpress admin panel and then clicking ‘Edit’ in the footer template section. With the post number, I was able restore the contents of the footer post from a database backup.

The post number is the value for ‘ID’ in the “wp_posts” table in the wordpress database. I simply copied the content from the column ‘post_content’ from a backup and inserted it into the my database and the footer settings were restored.

I explained my solution for anyone else who may wish to restore footer items deleted by mistake. This works on all items as long as you have the post number.
