    Hi guys,

    Hope that someone can help me. I have been rebuilding my website on WordPress on a sub-folder of my current site for the past year but recently had some issues on my site so I deleted the folder have been trying to restore from my “stash” back-up using Backupbuddy’s “importtbuddy.php” file but when I restored I would get all sorts of errors. I created new databases and users and finally restored with no errors and I can see the home page, but when I clicked on my page links the site would show my “main-domain” page content all jumbled up with no CSS. I also can’t login to the backend WordPress dashboard or anything. I contacted “Backupbuddy support” but it sounds like the tech hasn’t even looked at my site and is just telling me to try different things.

    So far, he has told me to delete the .htaccess file then try to log back into the dashboard which I did but know when I click on any links or try to login to my WordPress dashboard I just get page errors.

    If anybody could help me I would really appreciate it.
    The site URL is :- https://www.in2drums.com/wordpress/

    I have also tried to repair my .htaccess file by setting the permissions to 777 and creating a new file with the following info

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

    [Moderator note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or use the code button.]

    But it now shows my main domain homepage with no CSS. I still can’t access my dashboard.

    Forget it guys! Turns out that my hosting provider provides site backups with my plan. I retired using there backups and it is all back to normal.
