I was poking around in my CSS code and made some changes that are seemingly irreversible, I am fearing the worst but am a total noob when it comes to CSS and really had no business tinkering, to begin with. This is what it currently looks like on my site. [image] The only blur I have added to thi…

You can use safe mode to temporarily disable the theme, and then make the changes you need: [image] Using Safe Mode to troubleshoot issues with themes and plugins Site Management bookmark This guide explains how to use Discourse’s Safe Mode to troubleshoot iss…

Alternatively, you can use your browser’s dev tools to find the button in the HTML code and disable temporarily the CSS rules that make the button invisible. But david’s solution seems easier and more reliable.

Hello David, It looks like globally I can’t check any of the boxes. Maybe the easiest way is to manually push a rollback to the 1 day old backup? [image]

When I have to tweak CSS, wether it’s on Discourse or any other site, I often (or always, actually) try new CSS rules using a live CSS editor browser extension, this one: https://github.com/webextensions/live-css-editor (note that it supports the SASS syntax) For Discourse it allows me to try stu…
