Solution

The fastest and safest way to fix a theme that has any error like this is to reinstall it with a fresh downloaded copy of the newest version. This will not affect any content or settings.

  1. Connect to your site via FTP
  2. Go to wp-content/themes/yourthemename and download a copy of the custom.css if you were using it to customize theme styles.
  3. Unzip the new theme package and upload the new presstwo folder to wp-content/themes to overwrite your existing folder.
  4. Upload the custom.css back into the presstwo folder to overwrite the default one.
    • If your theme has a Custom CSS area in Theme Options, move your custom css into that field instead of using the css file
  5. Login to WordPress and visit your widget page and theme options to review the settings as some things may have changed since your last version. Visit our Updates tab for details on what each update contains.
