Try deactivating all plugins and switching to the default theme. Also get WP updated to 3.7.1.
I tried deactivating the plugins and that made no difference. I do not see a way to go to a default theme. Do you know what the default theme us? As it turns out I am running 3.7.1 but didn’t realize it.
Any more ideas?
The current default theme is twentythirteen. Click activate on that theme.
O.k., I tried the default theme and that didn’t work either.
Is there a setting somewhere that disables comments?
You can turn off comments under Settings > Discussion. For existing pages/posts, hover over the page name, then click Quick Edit and uncheck “Allow Comments.”
I thought that it might be set for not allowing comments. I actually want comments. I can’t even comment myself. The error says page not found. Perhaps the file for that page is erased?
Possibly – please post a link to your site with twentythirteen theme active and no plugins.

All plugins are deactivated. If you register, I can set you as an administrator for a while.
Twenty Ten is what I normally use for a theme.
Okay, so download a new copy of WP to your local computer and then using FTP or Cpanel, replace all files/folders EXCEPT wp-content, wp-config and .htaccess . Delete the old versions before uploading the new ones.
What folders are wp-content and .htaccess in? I don’t see them in the main folder. Are they somewhere else?
Are you sure there is an htaccess file? H haven’t been alble to find one even doing a search.
It’s not always a visible file – it would be in the root of your site – more info here:

I seem to have destroyed my WP blog. I saved the config file, deleated everything and then uploaded the old config file but it when I go to my blog, it starts from scratch trying to create a new one.
Is there a way tof fix this or is the site cooked and done with?
I seem to have destroyed the site. I saved the config file before I did anything then upload it again but apparently it isn’t recognized and I get the start up menue again.
Can this be fixed or do I need to start over? The database is apparantly still good.
Doesn’t look like you have that in the correct place – I see this:
There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started.
Need more help? We got it.
You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn’t work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.
Did you delete the wp-content folder? You shouldn’t have –
replace all files/folders EXCEPT wp-content, wp-config and .htaccess
Where is your site hosted? Do you or they have a backup of the site?

Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help.
I am trouble shooting. What should I look at first?
