Sudden layout & menu changes

Multi-Vendor

Looking for some guidance…

I was experimenting with creating a new layout, hoping to build a page that would display all discounted items using the Bestsellers & On-Sale Products add-on. I ended up deleting the new layout after realizing I may have needed to create a layout page instead.

After doing that, I noticed my social block had reverted to its default state, and the custom links I had in the footer are suddenly gone.

Then this morning, after updating an add-on (Cart-Power: Vendor Plan Periods (v1.0 - v1.1), my entire footer menu section is completely out of order. No grid changes were made, and everything looks fine in the backend — but the front end is a mess.

I honestly have no idea what went wrong, and it’s really discouraging. It feels like even small changes can undo hours of work without warning. I’m not sure what triggered all of this or how to get things back to normal.

If anyone has insight or suggestions, I’d really appreciate it.

Have you got any backups at all. That is the ideal situtaion

you could restore the backup , or if you dont want to to that “live” you could restore the backup to a seperate dev site, then export the original layout you want and re import it.
after this maybe uninstall the cart power addon and re install the original

We recommend to make changes or CS-Cart upgrade on a dev site first and then move the changes to live site after testing.

I was hoping to leave restoring a backup as a last resort. If I can figure it out or get some guidance, it helps me learn. I managed to fix the footer issue, but now I’ve noticed that on the companies.catalog page, none of the storefronts are clickable. So frustrating!

Thanks for responding!
