Posts theme/template changed, but I didn’t do anything!

Posted in: Newspaper

All of my posts now have a “blog” look to them with a white background and no widgets, when they used to have widgets and a black background. I have not edited anything in days and now all of sudden while going through my site, the posts look very different. I’m thinking this is just a template change, but I’m not sure why it happened in the first place or exactly what to change to go back.

When I used to change the content in a widget on a post, I would go to “Cloud templates>Single templates> Revenant Single Template> Edit with TD Composer”. When I go there now, it still shows the proper widgets with the black background.

Can you help with:

– I’m not sure what to do next as I’m now nervous about messing the whole thing up.
– Is there any way to find out how this happened and maybe just go back to an old setting? Kind of like restoring a backup.

Thanks,
Don

Hi Don,

Did you have auto-updates enabled for your plugins or theme? That could be one of the possible causes of the issue.

In this case, I recommend checking whether the theme plugins you were previously using are still installed and activated. If they are missing, you can reinstall them by going to Newspaper > Plugins in your dashboard.

Also, if the widget appears when you view the template using tagDiv Composer on a single post, it likely means the widget is still set under Appearance > Widgets. Please check there to confirm whether it’s assigned to the sidebar or has been moved to the “Inactive Widgets” section.

Thank you!

Thanks for the reply. I think what happened is that I accidentally clicked the “Global” button which un-assigned that template from everything. I probably did it while trying to get to the editor. In looking at everything that might have changed, that caught my eye and ended up fixing the problem when I clicked it again. Definitely my fault. 😉
