Hi, I recently hired a guy to customize the Enfold theme and I think he may have altered some of the Enfold core files (esp. the CSS files) when I asked him not too. He stopped work on my project when I pressed him on the issue so I suspect something is up. The test site is: test.specialized-pt.com. I mentioned that I only wanted the CSS3 code to go into Enfold’s Quick CSS test box area so I could review it and modify it in the future if needed.
What files do I need to replace to ensure that the Enfold core files are in their original state and not modified? I’m just trying to save some time by not rebuilding the entire site over to test this (it would take some time to add in the media, new pages, and other tweaks). And I do have a complete copy of the site files backed up on my local drive.
Thank you so much for your expertise and help!

Hi Steve!
The safest and easier solution would be to re-download Enfold from Themeforest again and installing it via FTP, take a look at this video for a reference:
Cheers!
JosueHi Josue,
Thanks for the quick response!
I thought about doing that, but wouldn’t that wipe out my custom slider files and code? And I’m not sure if that would also delete my custom pages built within Enfold. Would there be an easy way to back up and restore the slider data (and perhaps the custom pages if necessary) after I replace the Enfold files?
Thank you so much!
Steve
Hey Steve!
Your content is stored in the database, if you haven’t touched any theme files it is safe to re-install it (keep the same folder name).

JosueHi Josue,
I ran into some technical difficulties last night as I was trying to get my copied hosting test site files to work on my localhost.
You wouldn’t have a video or any posts in this forum that would help explain how to get a website correctly setup on your localhost for testing? I’m using WordPress and XAMPP on my localhost (trying this in by Linux and Windows XP). I’ve copied my files from the hosting site onto my localhost folder and I can’t seem to get it to work correctly. I believe I’m missing some SQL database commands.
I’ve been following these directions but they refer more to work on the hosting site only and not hosting to local host: http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/website/wordpress/duplicate-wordpress-site-for-testing
Thanks,
Steve
Hi Steve!
You can try this plugin for migrating the DB: WP MigrateDB or WP MigrateDB PRO

JosueHi Josue,
It worked! I transferred a new copy of the Enfold theme to my hosting folder and labeled the old one as ‘Enfold_old’. I just kept the old folder there as a reference. I’m able to see now all of the changes that were made to the Enfold files.
Thanks for the plugin too! I tried it on my local host site without success. I’m sure it works fine. I just ran out of time to troubleshoot.
Thanks once again Josue for your rapid responses, expertise, and advice.
Sincerely,
Steve
