I have created a custom design for the homepage for my sites. But after the latest update, I see that the homepage looks like Discourse’s default design with the list view. The custom work is gone. The custom header is also gone. How do I rectify this?
Have you had a look in the theme admin to see which theme is set to be the default?

Thank you for your response. Yes, the custom theme is the default one. The custom colour, search banner etc, look ok. But the way I had designed the home page is gone. I had boxes within the page that lead users to the right categories. Also, I had custom header links. Now the Header looks plain.
Do you see any errors in the browser console?

we saw a redis issue. once we fixed that, we were able to run the updates. but no error related to this.
When i try to restore an earlier backup, the restore process doesn’t complete. How do i update to an earlier version? I ran the updates 2 months back. I was on 3.5.0.beta9-dev. How can i update to the next one, rather than the latest? I would like to try this step by step. Please help!
Sorry you are running into difficulties. Can you take a step back and tell us.. did you follow the official install instructions to create your site? Are you able to restore your backup to a different server?
If you are having server issues (eg with redis) then you may be best off starting over with a new server, following the official install instructions and then restoring your latest backup. Then you can see what’s going on with your theme.

Were these additional components you added to your theme, or already in-built into it?
Could it also be the fact that core changes may have broken it?
