I have messed with lot of files and made a mess. Can I copy all the files form the install zip and get back to the original install?
Hi Pareshp
Thanks for reaching out.
All WordPress themes overwrite when updating so it’s unfortunately not update safe to make changes to theme files directly. If you do and run a theme update all your code edits will be lost. If you’d like to edit the theme at a code level, please, use a child theme: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes.
To restore please follow these instructions: https://siteorigin.com/basics/updating-theme-from-zip/
Hope that helps.
