 * We recently moved our website from Host Gator servers to a dedicated GoDaddy 
   server using cPanel backup/restore. Everything was great… at first. After a day
   of running just fine, I noticed the website had switched style sheets and was
   now serving different color elements (fonts, colors, background image links broken,
   accordion menu not scaling, etc). After some unsuccessful trouble shooting, I
   decided to replace the entire public_html file on our host. The website was correct
   again! Until I cleared the cache… and the CSS was again replaced… I then tried
   to replace the public_html folder again, with the W3TC plugin and all of its 
   php files removed, with the CSS being incorrect from the time I switched the 
   folder. Basically, after my migration (no changes to files, simple download and
   upload), W3TC is holding the correct CSS until the cache clears, then I’m back
   to square one…
 * Any thoughts on what is causing this, and what I can do to fix it? I have full
   backups of the original site (which is how I replaced the public_html) that was
   backed up when everything was working properly. I don’t particularly want to 
   have all of the CSS recoded…
