I deleted 1 script and my whole site is messed up.

  • Well I am sure this one is simple, but I can’t seem to solve it.

    This was the first wordpress website I created, so I made a mistake that I am suffering for now! okay….

    Initially I installed it in the root directory. https://www.dabooth.com, however I messed something up and created a new mySQL user name and uploaded the wordpress package to blog.dabooth.com. We have a ton of content and I don’t know where to find it.

    My problem was that we got a new header for the website, and I manually put it in through the wordpress editor and input an image. The problem was that dabooth.com had image A(old image) and blog.dabooth.com had image B(new image).

    I decided a couple weeks later to manipulate the file and went and found header.php through an ftp and tried putting in an <img src = file.

    I don’t understand PHP, but i understand HTML so I thought I could do it. haha guess not. If anyone can help me please let me know! I’m sure I can be resourceful to you in some way! Thanks in advance!

  • daboothnj,

    Sure thing, please post the code of your header.php file or at least the area that seems to be affected. More than likely it’s a small error.

    What kind of script or what was the script you deleted per topic subject?

    We have a ton of content and I don’t know where to find it.

    Posts, comments, categories, tags, etc are in the database. While the images, attachments et al would be in your server in wp-content/uploads/ folder.

    No, just adding an image file and uploading header.php via FTP won’t cause the problem. It’s more likely that when you moved your WordPress installation from the root of dablog.com to blog.dablog.com, you didn’t make the necessary “corrections” in your database.
