 * I did something to my site that undid a lot of the theme customizations. I have
   backups made before the changes happened, but I can’t figure out how to restore
   from them. I’ve tried importing an older version of the options table through
   phpmyadmin and copying over the wp-content directory, but no luck.
 * What should I try next?

 * Hi,
 * we have some tutorials on how to restore a wordpress site in our docs: [http://docs.backwpup.com/article/127-how-to-restore-a-wordpress-backup](http://docs.backwpup.com/article/127-how-to-restore-a-wordpress-backup)
 * It would be best to make a backup of the site as it is now, so you have the possibility
   to go back, if you are not successfull with restoring from the old backup.
