Hello,
This is a strange one so I am not sure if you can help. I am using Ascend Premium on one of my sites. I am trying to use Softaculous to create a staging site to make some big changes. All goes well but the theme settings seem to revert to the default settings. From what I understand Softaculous will replicate the files and database and then push those back after changes are made. All of the data seems fine except for the record in the {dbname}_options table named virtue_premium, it seems to have the default settings from a fresh install. It starts like this
“a:292:{s:12:”boxed_layout”;s:4:”wide”;s:12:”sidebar_side”;s:5:”right”;s:12:”header_style”;s:8:”standard”;s:13:”header_height”;s:3:”120″;s:22:”side_header_menu_width”;s:9:”33.333333″;s:13:”sticky_header”;i:0;s:20:”shrink_center_header…..”

That same record on the live database starts like this
“a:397:{s:8:”last_tab”;s:2:”19″;s:12:”boxed_layout”;s:5:”boxed”;s:12:”sidebar_side”;s:5:”right”;s:12:”header_style”;s:8:”standard”;s:13:”header_height”;s:3:”120″;s:22:”side_header_menu_width”;s:9:”33.333333″;s:13:”sticky_header”;s:1:”0″;s:20:”shrink_center_header….”

Any ideas?
Thanks!
Kevin
