[SOLVED] Lost settings after update to 3.5.1 from 3.4.9 + cannot retrieve import sett
I have been using Atahualpa for my own site for a while and this new site I have started building for a friend in the last few weeks and I absolutely love the countless options it has.
As the new site, patsypics.com/ had not been updated yet from 3.4.9 and was also having some problems with rotating header images (did work in I.E, but not in any other browsers such as Safari, Mozilla or Google Chrome), I hoped that an update would fix the problem as my own website mafgirl.com is running on 3.5.1 and rotating headers are working in all browsers. (both website on wordpress 2.9.2)
Before the update I made sure I had exported the settings file so I would not lose any settings.
After the update (downloaded 3.5.1. files , then FTP into the themes folder) I imported the settings and it worked fine - although headers still not rotating. I then read what it said underneath 'import settings' : 'Since 3.4.7 options are stored in one single option named bfa_ata4. If you had issues with Atahulpa 3.4.7, 3.4.8 or 3.4.9 you may have a corrupted option bfa_ata4 in the database. Delete bfa_ata4 then reload a page on your site. This will create a new bfa_ata4 entry in the database.'
I figured since I had an issue, I would try this. It said deleted successfully' and after reloading a page, it became clear that Atahualpa had reverted all settings back to default.
That obviously didn't work for me so I tried to import settings again to get it back to my settings and it didn't work. Tried many times, but to no avail. Have also reinstalled 3.5.1 in the themes folder, deleted 3.4.9, changed theme to default, then back to 3.5.1 and tried importing settings again, but it won't budge.
When I look in the text file it does still have the old settings in there, as I can see the font we used, which isn't in the default settings.
Is there anything I can do or do I have to manually set everything back to our preferences?
Thanks anyone for replying and if we can fix this we will donate to keep this brilliant theme running!
Thanks again, Marjolijn
PS have attached the settings file for patsypics
