In reply to: Blank Dashboard except side barThank Brett! Do you know if uploading a new wp-admin and wp-includes is going to affect my content? I guess I can make a back up just in case.
Thanks so much – I want to swap out of woothemes and put up a thesis framework 🙂

In reply to: Reinstalled WordPress – how to connect old wp-contentGreat. Just one last question then. Should I delete my wp-content content? Since it’s just sitting in there and not being read? Because I’ll be re-uploading everything again, I’ll just be making a second copy of it all?

In reply to: Reinstalled WordPress – how to connect old wp-contentOh ok. So having them in my wp-content folder doesn’t matter? Only in the database?
Thanks!

In reply to: Reinstalled WordPress – how to connect old wp-contentHi there,
I do and I don’t. The old database was essentially gone (I think by an accidental deletion). So all I had was a database folder for my third party forum. But I do have the old wp-content folder backed up.
I think the reinstall overrode any old database. My site wasn’t showing up because it was missing a lot of the database like the index.php and all that. 🙁
Any tips for the wp-content folder?

In reply to: Reinstalled wordpress lost siteBad news. I lost the pages and blog posts. I think it was part of the uninstall I did or something on my own awhile back. I’ve gotten wordpress back up and running though and have to redo the entire skin for my thesis site.
I wanted to ask…so I did a new install and my wp-contents folder still has everything in it. But when I go to media library I don’t see any of my images. Is there a way to get that connected back? Is it a database issue of some time?
Since I only have 1 wp-content folder, I would think everything would be read from it to the media library.
Let me know if you guys can help. This will save a little time. So sad, too bad. But I will recover.

In reply to: Reinstalled wordpress lost siteJulian, thank you!
Let me check and try all this, this evening when I am back in front of my computer.
If everything works well, I will post here so this thread can be closed.
Can I ask one question out of curiosity, which I’m not certain anyone will know the answer to. Why would some of my wp- files like wp-config.php and wp-comments, wp-post…all those files in my file manager disappear? I’m assuming they were there at some point when my site was up and running, although I never checked because my site worked fine. It is only know that I see that they aren’t there as I try to recover my site.
All the best Julian and Tara. You two are very helpful!

In reply to: Reinstalled wordpress lost siteThanks Julian.
Yes I can access the myphpadmin database through Hostgator (my hosting). However, when I look at it, it only has my third party forum information. Would my pages and blogs with texts be located in the MySQL database perchance? Or are the files hidden?
I was trying to think if there was a chance all my stuff got overridden when I disconnected the hosting from the domain for awhile but I can’t see why that would happen. As well, by seeing the third party forum information in the myphpadmin database, I’m hoping that means I have everything else as well.
I’ve backed up the two databases I mentioned, and made a back up of my current FTP.
I do have two follow up questions.
1) Should I delete my wordpress install and just reinstall it?
2) After reinstalling, should I paste over the wp-content folder and the two databases and use wp-config to get the databases connected (just connect the DB name, username and password)?

In reply to: Reinstalled wordpress lost siteHello everyone,
I just used a new domain to install WordPress 3.9, thesis and then a skin, which is exactly what I have on my site that isn’t working. My site that doesn’t load is missing a lot of files that are installed with WordPress when I compare it to the new installation.
Do you suggest I just copy and paste the missing folders over? And then connect the wp-config.php to the database or is it harder than that?
It looks like any site I connected to hostgator then disconnect lose a lot of their files that are associated with wordpress.
Sorry for multiple postings, I just saw the edit button on the side.

In reply to: Reinstalled wordpress lost siteAnd yes, I am talking to my host now. They told me to do the reinstall initially but did not mention backing up the database, only the folders like wp-content.

In reply to: Reinstalled wordpress lost siteHi Tara
I only backed up my folders in my subdomaim. I didn’t back up the database. Do you know if the reinstall overrides my old database?
If what you are saying is what I think you are saying, then you mean I can do the reinstall and then paste back in my database and connect it to the wp-config.php and it will read that data? Is that correct?
Thank you for your reply.
