Appearance screen: status and emergency buttons
The WordPress Appearance screen shows the site look status and four emergency reset buttons.
On this page
Find it under Settings → VisionScaper Appearance. Only users who can manage options (WordPress administrators) can open this screen. The look and layout are edited inside the app, not here: Contractor Hub → Settings → 🎨 Appearance & layout → Whole site, or My Account → Look & layout. This WordPress screen has no colour or font fields. It shows the current state and gives four emergency resets that affect only the site-wide layer; each business and person keeps their own choices.
Fields
| Field (exact label) | What it does for VisionScaper | What to enter and example | Default / notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open the Appearance editor | Opens the in-app editor (Hub settings). | Click. | |
| Site look | Shows the published site theme name, or “VisionScaper default”. | Read only. | |
| Known-good copy | Date and time of the saved known-good look, or a dash. | Read only. | |
| Versions kept | Count of saved history versions. | Read only. | |
| Locked for everyone | Which categories are locked: colors, type, shape, density, motion, mode, layout; or “Nothing”. | Read only. | |
| Role default layouts | Roles with a default layout, or “None (built-in order)”. | Read only. | |
| Restore last known-good look | Publishes the saved known-good theme as the site look. Message: “Restored the last known-good site look.” | Click. | Greyed out when none exists. |
| Back to the default look | Un-publishes the site theme (saving it to history as “Before the emergency reset”). Message: “The site look is back to the VisionScaper default.” | Click. | Greyed out when nothing is published. |
| Remove all locks | Clears every lock. Message: “All locks removed.” | Click. | |
| Clear role default layouts | Deletes all role default layouts. Message: “Role default layouts cleared.” | Click. |
Steps
- If the app looks wrong for everyone, open this screen.
- Try Restore last known-good look first.
- If still wrong, Back to the default look.
- Use Remove all locks or Clear role default layouts only if people cannot change settings or menus are in the wrong order.
- Confirm the green message.
If something goes wrong
- Buttons are greyed out: there is nothing to restore or reset.
- These buttons do not ask for confirmation.
- The in-app editor options (colors, fonts, shapes) are not on this screen (not covered here).
