Options Reset = MAJOR problem

[tisfortorrey]

I was trying to update my social profiles in Theme Options and clicked Save All Changes. When it refreshed, it said “Options Reset” (even though I hadn’t clicked that) and now all of the changes I made to the look and feel of the theme (which took hours) have been reset. How can I fix this and restore the previous selections?

I had the same problem. The wordpress was updated to 3.6.1 but the theme was still at version 1.7…

Is there any fixes for this? I am going to try to do an update of the theme for which i have never done before and I am wondering if i need to rollback to the 3.5 wordpress as it lists that is compatible with up to 3.5 on the product page for the Ability theme…

Hi,

Make sure you update the style.css file also, from there only WordPress take the Version number, so even after update (including the style.css) it looks 1.7 means go and edit the style.css file, and change the version to 1.9.

That looks weird, I will forward this to the dev team 🙂

Thanks for your patience.

Thanks,
laranz.

Hi guys,

Can you let me know what version of Ability you are using so that I can look into this?

I’m using version 1.7

Please update to v1.9, as this will fix the issue.

How do I do that? Is the update through the WordPress interface or do I need to download something from ThemeForest?

Also, how do I undo the changes made by the Options Reset?

Thanks!

You’ll want to download the latest version from ThemeForest. As for undoing the changes, you’ll need to ask your host if they have a database backup.
