 * Hello,
    Theme Options > Sections > Number of sections (changed to 1) > Save Options
 * I viewed site is browser and then repeated the above and picked original section
   count, then Save Options but the site never reverted back, staying the same showing
   one section.
 * I deactivated the plugin, then activated, tried again. Same.
    Then I deactivated,
   removed plug-in, saved, then added plugin. Same. Then I removed plug-in, theme
   and reinstalled both. The same. I can’t get the plug-in to revert back to the
   original 5 sections.
 * Thanks.
    Ciao. Mike

 * WARNING: Do not select “Restore Defaults”.
    I wanted to change sections, make
   fewer, but want to change back, couldn’t, so I restored defaults and the rest
   is history. Lucky the site is a demo site. I did not hear from developer in 5
   days so I reset hosting account, reinstalled theme and child theme plug-in. Everything
   works fine.
