So yes, when you change the name there it will think its an entirely new theme.</p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>Devin </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/choices-theme-reset-after-changing-theme-name-in-stylecss#post-82719 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 17:12:04 +0000 Burnt Pixel 82719@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>This has happened twice to me. I renamed the theme in style.css and the entire theme reset itself and created an arbitrary theme style (green, really?). All the data in the theme was lost--ie, colors, customized functionality, etc. </p> <p>I changed the name back to choices and everything was restored. Interesting. Maybe this will help someone in the future. </p>
