[יצחק מרדכי טאבאק]

@יצחק-מרדכי-טאבאק css is part of the site config and it’s in the database

@dunlix
So how do you actually find it ?
I just have the same question .

It is stored in the config object.

> db.objects.findOne({_key: "config"}).customCSS 
.best {
    background-color: #ff0000;
}

@avi-klaine why can’t you just copy and paste from the css section of the acp?

@dunlix you can, but didn't @Avi-Klaine say that their forum was down ?

More precisely this is the right question
The server has shut down
And MONGODB has been damaged and we are currently unable to restart in any way
The posts and users of the forum we understand are lost
The question is whether CSS etc. is also lost
Or it's fine we can find in the NODEBB folder

@א-ש if your database is damaged, then immediate retrieval won't be possible. Do you at least have a backup of the database ? From the comment below around accepting the loss of posts and users, it doesn't seem to be the case.

What I always do is take a copy of the CSS and keep it up to date in a text file outside of NodeBB.
