 * Is there any way to roll back the updated header? It has ruined the entire look
   we had created on both desktop and mobile versions. It is very difficult to customize
   and has a lot of glitches.

 * Hi [@kharisblank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kharisblank/) ,
 * I also did the header update the day before yesterday. Since then, our site is
   no longer displayed as before. But the header is in dark blue and the menu is
   different.
 * As you described, I wanted to set the value for “sydney-update-header” to 0 via
   options.php, but it doesn’t work. An error message appears that the link is no
   longer valid.
 * According to various posts you should increase the upload_max_filesize, as well
   as max_execution_time, post_max_size.
    But unfortunately it doesn’t help.
 * Is there another way to reset the header again?
 * Request for Info.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Hi [@amendagmbh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amendagmbh/),
 * Thank you for chiming in.
 * Please check the user role assigned to your account. Does it have the [administrator rights](https://wordpress.org/support/article/roles-and-capabilities/)?
   If you can access the Plugins and Themes menu, you should be able to access the
   _wp-admin/options.php_ as well.

 * Hi [@kharisblank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kharisblank/) ,
 * Thanks for your quick reply.
    I tried it through our main admin account. But 
   there comes the message that the link has expired.
 * I opened a ticket with our web host yesterday, but he also says that everything
   is ok.
 * We use WordPress as a multisite. Is that a problem?
 * It can’t be reset directly via the MySQL database, can it?

 * Hi [@amendagmbh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amendagmbh/),
 * My test site also runs under WordPress multisite installation. And I don’t get
   any issue with the options.php (accessed from subsite).
 * Perhaps your multisite installation is a little special.
 * > It can’t be reset directly via the MySQL database, can it?
 * Yes, you can. The row for _sydney-update-header_ should present under _wp\_options_
   table. See [https://codex.wordpress.org/Database_Description#Table:_wp_options](https://codex.wordpress.org/Database_Description#Table:_wp_options)

 * Hi [@kharisblank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kharisblank/) ,
 * `that’s interesting. My web host has already informed me that everything should
   actually fit.
 * Unfortunately, the row for sydney-update-headers is not available under wp-options.
   
   Will I have to add them manually then? Do you have any tips on the easiest way
   to do this? I can currently only access it on my iPad and the view there is odd
   for “insert”.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * [@kharisblank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kharisblank/) i have add “
   sydney-update-header” with value 0 .. but it does not changes.

   but what is with 163 164 ?
 * i added now sydney-update-header with option_id 163.
 * Should help to install theme again with upload from sydney?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Hi Michael,
 * I am sorry for the delay. And thanks for getting back.
 * Can you visit yoursite[DOT]com/wp-admin/options.php and confirm whether the line
   for **sydney-update-header** reflects what you have in the database?

 * Hi [@kharisblank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kharisblank/) ,
 * no problem 😉
 * I see that there are 337 entries in the wp_options.
    The entry for sydney-header-
   update is definitely missing in the wp_options table. The entry sydneyii_license_status
   cannot be found either. Sporadically looked at a few others, they were available.
 * The text with “link expired” also appears if I just click save without making
   any changes.
 * You know my webseite url? Maybe we can repair this whith additional css?
 * Rhegards,
    Michael

 * Before doing so, can you provide a screen recording while you’re troubleshooting
   it?
 * Use Google Drive or other file sharing services to host the video file, set for
   public, and link it here as you reply.

 * Hi [@kharisblank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kharisblank/) ,
 * what do you want a screen capture of? 🙂
    Would you like to see if I click save
   in options.php and then the error message appears? Or should I slowly scroll 
   through the wp_options in phpmyadmin so that you can see the entries?

 * Hi again [@kharisblank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kharisblank/) ,
 * the new header is cool in itself, also in terms of layout. Only this background
   color hides the image in the background.
 * Wouldn’t it be possible to overlay this with additional CSS with display: none?
   
   Our website is [http://www.amendagmbh.de](http://www.amendagmbh.de).
 * Thanks in advance.
 * Regards,
    Michael
