Change to the template system — blog reverted to old theme?
there seems to have taken place some change to the templating system? I've always edited my template in the web interface, but that isn't possible anymore apparently. Which is fine, but with this change, my blog reverted to an old version of my theme, before I'd made some crucial changes that, frankly, will be hard for me to reproduce. Is there any way for me to get the latest version of my theme back?
I believe we discussed this over email but for anyone else affected:
Sorry about this, I'll restore the old version of your template from a backup. I am working on the template engine at the moment and am cleaning up the way locally edited templates work.
The issue affects templates who were at one point locally edited, but were switched back to the web template editor, without removing the local files in your blog folder.
I thought I had guardrails in place to prevent the clobbering of templates with old local template files but this seems to not be the case. I will restore the template and make sure that any other templates affected by this bug across Blot are also restored
Answered a year ago · Edit answerAh - thanks for the answer. I was just writing an email as I noticed that I seemed to have reverted to an older template version and I was a little perplexed. But, then, thought I had better check here first - appreciate the update. Looks like I have been affected as well. I won't email for the moment as you seem to be on case but let us know if we need to tell you.
Answered a year ago · Edit answerHello! Just to register that this has happened to me too. As above, I’ll hold off on emailing unless that would be helpful for you! Thanks.
