Any operation on a text layer, say, make a selection-fill-selection converts the text layer to a regular bitmap layer. The best solution is preventative. Either duplicate the text layer or create a new layer and apply the effect to the new layer.

If you have stroked the path in the text layer you can get it back, with limitations, using the text tool and clicking in the ex-text-layer.

hmm..maybe you need to reverse  the work flow, text along path, which creates a deformed path followed by a fill-path and stroke-path.

That might work. I'll give it a shot. Thank you.
It looks like you're still using 2.8. I wish I had stuck with 2.8 until I got used to it, but 2 days after I installed it, I could only find YouTube vids that used 2.10 and above
