All website customization has disappeared

  • Hi folks. I’ve been drawn into a weird problem at work, for a website I didn’t build. I have a little bit of WordPress experience but not much, and this one has me scratching my head–so forgive me if it’s a simple problem/easy fix!

    So the website is https://lovealwaysbook.com . As you can see it’s looking pretty funky/blank. All of the content is there, but the site doesn’t look right–no images, etc.

    Here’s what it used to look like, per the Wayback Machine: as of January 10th, 2016

    What could have happened? Keep in mind that I’ve had nothing to do with this website until today, so unfortunately I don’t have a ton of info.

    Thanks y’all!

    What did you or someone else do before this issue happened? For example:
    – Did you update WP? Yes? Was it auto update or manual update? Also, updated from what version?
    – Did you install/update plugins?
    – Did you install/update theme?
    – What theme are you using currently? Where did you download ir from?
    – Are ALL your plugins and the current theme up to date?
    – Have you moved your site to new server, new domain, or new directory
    – Did your site work without any issue before (No hacking, no error, etc.)?
    – Have you checked your server error logs?

    Just a guess… one stylesheet that differs is that the current site shows the style sheet:
    <link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” media=”all” href=” https://www.lovealwaysbook.com/wp-content/themes/monaco/style.css”&gt;

    The WBM one shows this as the stylesheet:
    <link href=”https://www.lovealwaysbook.com/wp-content/themes/monaco/css/colors/red.css&#8221; rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css”>

    Some themes let you choose to style a site by colour, and its possible that the original designer decided to put all the site stylings under the “red.css” stylesheet instead of the site’s main style.css file.

    If there’s a way to switch back to the Red colour choice, there’s a small chance that all the styling will come back for the site.

    Not sure if this is the case, but looking at the two sites, the one major difference is the stylesheet being called. The site from WBM is calling on red.css instead of style.css.

    Some themes let you choose a colour for the theme, that will change which stylesheet is being used. If you can change back to the “Red” theme, there’s a good chance your site’s theme will come back, assuming the original designer put all the customized css under the red.css file instead of the intended style.css file.
