Site down After Update 7.8

Before upgrading I exported my site settings as I have some customizations you guys have done for me in the past. I upgraded the site and then imported the settings. The settings reverted the site to default and I lost all of my customizations. So I rolled back to my backup but the settings were still all messed up. After importing the settings again the site went down and I am getting a “too many redirects”.

Best to

a) keep track of changes
b) download new theme version
c) apply changes to core files in NEW version
d) delete old theme folder via FTP
e) upload new theme folder with changes re-applied via FTP

Also good to backup anything placed in theme panel text boxes or widgets into a plain text file for safe keeping.

Also good to have full MySQL backups.

Yes that’s how I did the update initially, it was really the settings import that messed everything up. Thanks for the suggestions Chris.
