## FAQ

### What type of customizer settings are reset?

Theme settings saved via the Customizer API are reset, including:

 1. `theme_mod` settings
 2. Option-based Customizer settings (for themes like Astra and GeneratePress)

### Why did the plugin not reset a particular setting?

 1. Setting is not registered correctly via Customizer API
 2. Setting is stored outside the Customizer API (theme panel/framework options)

### Is reset reversible?

**Yes, if you use „Backup & Reset“!** The plugin now offers a backup feature that
stores your settings for 30 days. Use the „Backup & Reset“ button to automatically
create a backup before resetting.

If you use the regular „Reset“ button without backup, the action is irreversible
and you’ll need to redo all modifications from scratch.

I use a very basic theme (GeneratePress) with a few customizer settings. I decided
to use this plugin in order to find out if a CSS color problem came from Customizer
settings. I made a backup and press the reset button… my problem was still there,
so I press the button to restore the backup… nothing, it didn’t restore my settings…
I lost all of them… now i’m stuck with a broken website that I have to start all
over again.

Once installed, a „reset“ button is added to the top of the customizer sidebar (
to the left of the „save“ button). Reliable plugin. Great convenience.
