 * I am new to WP and I am wondering if there is a way to undo changes to WordPress
   done via the accompanying PHP, JS, CSS files etc . I know you can undo changes
   directly within the Dashboard but I am trying to go beyond that. My PHP, JS knowledge
   etc is very limited at this time but at least I can make changes to the style.
   css file using Dreamweaver. Only problem now is that I have to save in order 
   to see the changes and I get stuck if it doesn’t work. Just wondering if there
   is a quick undo button somewhere that can be used once WP is transferred into
   another environment.
 * Thanks in advance
    acboy.

 * when you are using Dreamweaver, you can link directly per ftp to the theme’s 
   folder; and use the ‘put’ button to send the edited files to your server.
 * if your site shows an error, undo the changes in Dreamweaver and send the ‘un-
   edited’ file to the server; then reload the web page in your browser.
 * I use Dreamweaver as the editor for my WordPress templates in the exact same 
   way – make changes in files of the local (on my computer) copy of the theme, 
   save (i.e. upload to the theme folder), test, undo, edit more, save, test again,…
 * this works as long as you don’t close Dreamweaver, ie.e as long as the ‘undo’
   button in Dreamweaver will work.
 * apart from that, you need to work with backup files.

 * Thanks, will keep your suggestions in mind, especially making backup files. I
   am currently not uploading to a site, just locally, playing around for a better
   grasp. It’s the PHP side that is daunting.
