How to upgrade WP without losing custom design changes

  • Last time I upgraded wordpress it changed some of my design back to my themes default. Is there a simple way to make sure that my code isn’t changed while updgrading to 2.5?

    Searched and had trouble finding an answer.
    Thanks

  • Hi,
    I believe that if you did all your “code changes” in the wp-content/themes directory, then just pay attention not to upgrade the theme you’re using. However if you changed other files, then you will have to re-apply these changes manually. My recommendation, based on my personal experience, is to use a theme which supports separate stylesheets (getk2 is excellent for that purpose) and make all your changes through css.
    Hope this helps.
    Kindly,
    Svenjick

    Thanks, that helps a little.

    Just don’t overwrite the wp-content (or wp-content/themes/) directory when upgrading – most themes are compatible with 2.5.
