How do I reset a Theme or Stack to default settings?

[P4KAdmin]

How do I reset a Theme Stack back to the default settings? Somehow before upgrading to Pro from X, I changed the font for the side menu. I can’t find where I did that to set it back. The upgrade to Pro didn’t change that. The fonts have a shadow and are hard to read. It was early on so I have made too many changes to go back to old page versions. I tried changing stacks and publishing in the hope that would reset it when I switch back (I changed to Icon and published it and it works fine. When I tried to change back to Integrity, it still has the messed up fonts).

I have searched your support articles and other options but it doesn’t tell me how to reset it back to the default. (I do understand now that such changes should be done with a Child theme, which I will do IF I can get back to the defaults settings for the stack we want to use.)

I’ll be OK if I have to reset the entire theme since the colors will be easy to update.

I’m hoping there is an easy way to reload or reset a stack. (There should be!)

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in! Could you please provide us with a screenshot or a site URL to the referenced site, so that we can assist you accordingly.

If you have upgraded recently from X to Pro and if you’re using either CloudFlare or a caching plugin like W3 Total Cache, make sure to purge your server cache and re-test again.

Thanks!

Hi,
The website I’m working on is paws4kids4paws,org. I upgraded to Pro a week or so ago but only got it installed today. I had the same problem with the X-theme and that is where I changed things in a way I don’t want. Installing the Pro upgrade kept the settings.

I was using the Integrity theme changed it to Icon to get the side fonts fixed but we prefer the Integrity theme so just want to set it back to it’s original settings for the fonts. I’m OK with resetting the stack to default if needed because there really are only two color changes I need (but I do need the widgets, menus I set up, social data…).

I have two screen shots - one with the messed up fonts and one with a different stack that has the default fonts that we prefer. Apparently I can only upload one at a time so I’ve made one of them together

I’m putting the public site back to the Integrity theme for now so you can see it live too. (Republishing)

Thanks in advance for your help.

Also, how do I purge the server cache?

Hi,

It depends on where you are hosted, you may ask your hosting company if server cache is enabled.

To remove shadow on your sidebar font, you can add the code below in Theme Options > CSS

.widget {
    text-shadow: none;
}

.widget ul, .widget ol {
    border:0;
    box-shadow:none;
}

.widget_nav_menu ul li a, .widget_meta ul li a, .widget_pages ul li a {
    border-bottom: 1px solid #fff;    
    box-shadow: none;
}

Hope that helps.

Adding that code did it - Thanks.

Perhaps next time you all send an update for the theme / stack, that will fix it permanently in the main theme.

It is weird that you don’t have a way to reset things back to the original settings. You should consider adding that to your development plans .

Thanks again!
