I had to install a security update to WordPress yesterday. Remembering the last time this happened, I took a full backup of the site before running the install.
This time, I carefully downloaded the backup to my home machine, just to be sure. After running the installation (which, just like last time, blew away all my CSS modifications), I opened the backup, navigated to the location of my modified CSS file, and then hit a wall. I can see the file in the backup, but I can’t open or extract it. It’s rather frustrating . . .
So, once again, expect minor format tweaks as I try to reconstruct the last set of changes.
Update: Thanks to Jon, my former virtual landlord, the CSS and PHP modifications are back in place. If you notice anything still not working as expected, drop a comment on this post, please.
