Reloading a Page – Possible

    We had a website up — but my designer ‘reinstalled’ wordpress through godaddy.

    Obviously, everything we have done on the site is gone. Except we had a version up in our browser.

    We reloaded wordpress and the theme.

    Is it possible to rebuild based on a right click “save page as” — I have the main index page and a ton of files in ‘files’ folder.

    Ideas? Can it be done?

    WP files and database are separated entity. Reinstalling WP will not wipe out the database, but the wp-config.php which holds database info might get replaced and that might be the reason why the site looks empty.

    So check with the web hosting see if the database is still there. If it’s still there, get the database info then use it in wp-config.php.

    That’s great information

    Is that assuming that the host backed up the database?

    I use godaddy – so any specific help would be great!

    Thank you.

    If the database is still there, we only need to get the db info to put in wp-config.php

    If you have the login to cPanel, you can take a look by yourself, but of course most webhost will help out, just contact the support.
