I executed a Restore operation offered by my hosting provider (MediaTemple). FTP inspection shows that it appears to have correctly placed all files in the right locations, however my Royal Theme and its Child are totally wonky.
Evidence:
A) Under Appearance|Editor|Select theme to edit dropdown, “ROYAL – 8theme WordPress theme” appears twice (in addition to “Royal Child”). It appears only once under wp-content\themes. The site in general behaves inconsistently, even after accounting for cache flushing. I’m wondering if we’re somehow pulling from two different activations of the theme.
B) A variety of layout customizations are askew. For example, the spacing between the Search editbox & button is wrong.
C) Our Single Product Page is back to showing the brand (a feature that was introduced when we recently updated to the latest Royal theme, but subsequently hid before doing the backup/restore)
D) Correct fonts are sporadically missing and substituted with other fonts.
E) custom.css in our child theme appears not to be running at all, none of its customizations are active.
I’m most alarmed by item A, as it seems to indicate something structurally wrong with how the theme is loaded.
I didn’t take any special steps to coddle the theme prior to the backup or after the restore. Can you please advise how to restore my theme to proper operation in the wake of a backup/restore?
Thank you.
