 * Wordpress has automatically update to WordPress 4.7 and this has wiped my custom
   CSS completely, I think partly because this feature has been redesigned in this
   update.
 * The site is now all over the place because there were quite a few updates.
 * Irrespective of how to do this in the future – does anyone know if there is a
   way to restore the CSS that was there before, or go back to the previous version
   of WordPress?

 * The best place to start is with your hosting. They should have a recent backup
   that you can restore. You will need to restore both the files in the WordPress
   directory (and all subdirectories) and the WordPress database.

 * Thanks, I will try that, do you think it would be possible to obtain just the
   CSS file? I think if I could get that then I could copy into the new version’s
   CSS editor.

 * Yes, talk to your host about that.
