Entire format of my website has changed

[Dilaks]

This is totally bizarre. I went into the CSS code to change the footer background colour and hit save. Nothing happened. Complete balck in the bottom half of my screen where the change usually reflects.So I relaoded the site and published. Big mistake. My navigation menus tabs have disappeared. The format of the website - columns etc have changed. the font of my block quotes has changed. AND I UNABLE TO REVERSE THIS ALL! Help!

Thank you!

Hi and thank you for responding. My original website looked like this: https://web.archive.org/web/20190628172615/http:/www.outwardboundindia.com/ (I got a month old link from web.archive)

My current website now looks like this: http://www.outwardboundindia.com/

This is the screenshot of the CSS code I was trying to change.

 

Thank you!

@Dilaks 

Is the image of the coding after u changed it or before ?

I am comparing it to my own coding:

[Dilaks]

I just changed the background colour to #003366 and then changed it back to what it is now. That's all I did. So the screenshot is after tI changed the change (if that makes sense.

But thank you so much - I just reverted back to the old Theme. At least I'm back on line now. 

[whitemonkey]

Ah ok   so u r back on line. Thats good.

As suggested b4.   Make a copy site  and tweak the coding on the copy site  b4 doing it on the main one.

I always make 1 colour adjustment at a time   so i can see what gives   and i always make it to #ff6600   a lurid orange.  So easy to see..  but some times   the change could be to a border thats set to zero or area that is not seen    like a footer wrap..  i only hav basic paid account.  So editing the footer does not help me.

And   if u miss out a simple ;   after the colour it will send ur site into diassaray ..

Good luck  @Dilaks

Just wanted to let you know that I used the inspect tool on your site and checked the header area. I believe most (if not all) theme names are listed somewhere in the header code.

Hi @Dilaks The original theme looks like Paris https://www.weebly.com/themes/theme/137841361952973692

[Dilaks]

Ah Paris! Thank you! How did you find that out please?

[Dilaks]

Also, how do I figure out what the original theme was? I changed quite a bit of the olours, widtg etc from the CSS once I took over building this site. The earlier person cannot remember what the original theme was.

Thank you

Hi @Dilaks. Definitely take the advice from @whitemonkey to change back to an original theme. Otherwise you will need to figure out what was edited in the code to make the navigation disappear. Thanks!
