After the update of the extension, all the changes, which I have made, disappeared! What should I do?
After the update of an extension all the changes, which you have made before, will disappear, because you download a new extension and Joomla! doesn't remember the changes. If you have modified an extension, changed the color of the font type, its style, changed some signs or icons, etc. then you should understand that all these changes will disappear after the update and, if you want to restore these, then you need to repeate the changes once again.
