 * My entire kale theme is missing. All pages, posts, etc. show on my dashboard,
   but there is NO formatting or theme online.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmissing-theme-format%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hello, thefarmwife.
 * Thank you for contacting us and for using our theme. We appreciate it.
 * I’ve just visited your website and the theme is there (you can see “Kale by LyraThemes.
   com.” in the footer) but what’s missing is the whole header section, and that
   includes the stylesheet. That’s why your website is visually broken right now.
 * Could you tell me whether you’ve done anything prior to this happening, like 
   installing some plugin, adding some JavaScript or maybe editing the `header.php`
   file?
 * Kind regards.

 * The only thing I have done is add the Google Analytics script in header.php –
   but that was weeks ago. Nothing since. I did look at the editor, trying to find
   a <title> area, because I have a double title. When I didn’t see it, I got out
   without making any changes. Editor scares me, because I am not tech savvy! This
   just happened as of yesterday. If you can tell me how to get rid of the double
   title as well, I would be forever grateful!

 * May I now warn you against ever touching any theme file directly, using built-
   in Editor?
 * There are two reasons for that. First, any change you make that way, will get
   overwritten when the theme gets updated, and second and more important, you might
   end up in a situation like this.
 * For the situations when you need to insert anything in the header or footer, 
   please use _Insert Headers and Footers_ plugin – [https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-headers-and-footers/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-headers-and-footers/)
 * I see that your website is behind “Coming Soon” page now, if you don’t solve 
   this yourself, please let me know.
 * Kind regards.

 * Thank you. I did get it fixed – I activated a different theme, deleted the one
   I was using, re-installed it and re-activated it. Other than a few minor tweeks,
   it is fine now. Thank you also for the link on how to insert into headers and
   footers. And I promise you – from here on out, I will never even click on Editor!
   I do appreciate your assistance.
 * A million thanks!

 * Excellent, glad that everything’s running normally now. 🙂
 * If you need any assistance in the future, just open a new thread.
 * Have a nice day!
