Great, so that’s why I once again have to manually reconfigure all my site’s colours. Again. This is absolutely ridiculous that updates overwrite customisations. I think I’m going to bin off wordpress and it’s dictatorial theme designers and go back to hand coding my website. The point of this service is to make things easier, not require the end user to spend hours fixing configuration overwrites that have been wiped out because a new version is “more secure”. There is absolutely no need to change the colour palette in the name of security. Leave it alone!

I found how to fix it, a file called theme.json appeared in December and had a very strange and limited set of colours in it. I have no idea why anyone would restrict the palette so severely but I presume the people behind the theme have a reason.

By replacing the entries with my own palette, I was able to restore the colours I used to have (plus add a few more).

I have now turned off auto updates on the theme.

I did try to add an image of the palette but seems it was necessary to first upload it somewhere and attach it as a URL and I didn’t have time to mess about with that. Not sure why a link to my website is needed as it wouldn’t have illustrated the issue – I would never have published a page that wasn’t correctly formatted.
