Thanks Krishna and Kevin. I am up bright and early!
Yeah looks like I will be starting from scratch! I still don’t know what happened yesterday but I went from having a lively fully functioning wp site to this. Heres the latest from the support console at i page:
” If the MySQL user exceeds the database query limit, which is 75,000 per hour per user, then the WordPress website will be redirected to the installation page. This setting is in place to ensure that the MySQL database cannot be overloaded with to many query requests. The queries will reset every hour and is kept by user; however every time the pages on your website are accessed you are still attempting to make queries to the database server. “
…its been a few hours now and still nothing. I will now do as you’ve suggested Kevin. You live & learn!
