 * How can I reset the theme to it’s original?
 * I made modifications so that the author don’t show in the archive and single 
   post. Now I want to reset it. I made the modifications to 1.4 version and now
   have 1.5 version but cant seem to get it fixed. I deleted the theme via ftp and
   downloaded the new version to my computer and uploaded it via ftp. But still 
   no changes.
 * Can someone help please?
 * Thanks

 * Hello,
 * Have you modified the Code in child-theme or Main Theme ?
 * For resetting Data in the Options Table you can do this easily with Restore-Defaults
   Settings.
 * Thanks

 * Hello Weblizar
 * I changed it in the main theme.
 * Will the RESTORE-DEFAULTS give me the original coding? So that it shows the author
   again?
 * Thanks for your reply, appreciate it.

 * Hi,
 * Yes, All the Defaults Settings will be called when you do Restore-Default.
 * Thanks

 * Hi Weblizar
 * I tried that, (I updated to 1.5.1 version), but it didn’t bring back the author
   on my blog posts. Any other ideas?
 * Thanks for your answers! Appreciate it!
