Hi,

How can i upgrade my cPanel without losing my theme design. What do i need to back-up? Because i am not able to upgrade now because my theme is being replaced.

Thanks!

Assuming you created your own style using the Branding editor, go back to the editor page, at top is a link to Download or Delete Branding, click that. Click Download link to the right of your style.

I have tried that with a back-up of my theme as .zip imported but nothing. It seems to mess up and set theme back to default.

Not enough Info. You backed up a custom style that you created, or you backed up one of the default styles you modified?

You should be editing a copied theme, not a main theme.
Advanced Guide to Branding - cPanel Documentation

Warning
Do not edit an existing theme. If you do this, your changes will be overwritten the next time cPanel updates. Instead, create a new theme with your desired changes.

Hello,

Thanks for the info. But what files do i have to COPY in order not to lose the back-up files. Can i copy-replace these files after the upgrade?

The docs hold the answers you seek, they just need to be viewed:

If you create a copy of one of the default themes, and edit the copy, it will not be overwritten by a cPanel update. The documentation Infopro linked to explains the correct way to make a custom theme so that it is preserved across cPanel updates.
