# MAJOR problem. Please help!

 * Hi folks –
 * I was having a small problem with Plugins previously and it has turned into a
   doozy. If you look at my blog, you can see that it is all text currently: [http://www.rustedrobot.com](http://www.rustedrobot.com)
 * I have no idea how this happened. When I log into the admin section for WordPress
   to try and make changes, that too is all text and whenever I click “options” 
   or “presentation” it takes me to a wordpress-branded 404 page.
 * I just want my blog back now. I don’t care about the plugin problem I was having.
 * Can someone please please help a clueless guy with five years of blog content
   mysteriously turned to all text?
 * Thanks!
    Jeff

 * its in your url or home setting.
 * The source gives the clue, its looking for a stylesheet here:
 * [http://rustedrobot.com/wp-content/themes/default/style.css](http://rustedrobot.com/wp-content/themes/default/style.css)
 * thats a 404
 * [http://www.rustedrobot.com/wp-content/themes/default/style.css](http://www.rustedrobot.com/wp-content/themes/default/style.css)
 * is a 404 as well.
 * Im assuming that youve installed WP in its own directory, and are trying to do
   the magic thing that makes the front page of the domain load the blog? (cant 
   reme. what thats called)

 * Thanks for your help, but I have no idea what you mean. I am very inexperienced
   with this stuff. Whatever happened here, I cannot even access my options.

 * Youre not going to be able to “recover” what hasnt been lost. You altered those
   values due to problem in your other thread.
 * Changing one or both of them commonly leads to this if done incorrectly.

 * _ok, thank you! but where do i log into that phpmyadmin thing?_
 * that’s host specific. A typical set up is that a host has cpanel access, and “
   MySQL” is one of the icons within cpanel that allows you to access phpmyadmin.

 * so my site appears to be working now after a call with my host, but I still can’t
   access the back end, admin stuff ([http://rustedrobot.com/wordpress/wp-admin/index.php](http://rustedrobot.com/wordpress/wp-admin/index.php)).
   What can I do to get that back?
 * thanks!

 * Allow me to explain more clearly what is going on here.
 * My site seemed to have lost it’s graphics and was all text. That has been restored,
   with the exception of the archives, which do not work.
 * I can logon to the admin panel main page ([http://rustedrobot.com/wordpress/wp-admin/index.php](http://rustedrobot.com/wordpress/wp-admin/index.php)),
   but I whenever I click on anything from that main page (write, options, plugins,
   etc), I get a 404 error. Also, this site is all text as well. The design just
   seem to have disappeared.
 * Can anyone help?
 * Thanks

 * logged into phpmyadmin and adjusted the home and siteurl URL’s – for some reason,
   they got fouled up.
