I accedently reset my theme from wordpress dashboard. But luckily i had backup with me, but now i am trying to restore my theme by manually replacing wp-content folder but it is not working, in terms of font changes and menu changes.

I am not able to find any reliable solution, all i can think of is manually replacing the theme folder to make it work which is not working in my case.

Hi there,

In case that anyone comes this in the future, in most cases the WordPress theme settings are stored in the database rather than the theme folder itself.

In order to restore your theme settings, you would need to restore your database. However, this might be tricky, especially if you have an ecommerce website where all of your orders are stored at, so you might want to restore only some tables rather than complete database.

Best,
