Thanks so much Ivan. It looks much better now. With a bit of tweaking in my photo I can make this work. I appreciate the help!

Thanks Michael. I emailed them. I was spooked.

Thanks Michael. It works!

Since you’re familiar with what’s going on with my site, can I please ask you one more thing: I installed the LinkWithin plugin. It’s still detecting old posts that I lost. I have no idea how it would do this. So when you click that link it goes back to my main page because the content isn’t available.

What gives?

Thanks,

Amy

When I go to settings/miscellaneous it has the setting for where to store uploads as here:

www/fitfrugalfamily.com/wp-content/uploads

while my site is Housewifehacks.com remember that wordpress is using the database from fitfrugalfamily. Should I change this or leave it?

Thanks Michael will look into that now.

alright thanks… no i continued with what was installed for the 2nd domain.

How do i fix the upload_path? Thank you once again, Michael.

Cache–great idea thanks that helps, much appreciated. Gotcha on having 1 blog now. I see my plugins they just weren’t activated. It looks like I’ll just have to go in and redo my categories, links, and posts. Thanks so much.

I admit culpability and ignorance completely not having a backup… I realize that I’m going to have to start from scratch. :\ Thanks for the help.

And you’re right Whooami, didn’t think of that. Thanks. ??

Sorry another question–I see how to go in and change the title etc. but my previous plugins are still all viewable when I look in my file manager on Hostia. Why aren’t they showing up? How do I restore my old admin?

Ugh alrighty. To note, you people were about 1000 times more helpful than the paid support from my hosting service. Thanks much. I’ve learned the hard way I suppose.

Also at this point if that’s the case that I’ve lost my things do I just go ahead and reinstall wordpress on my primary site to overwrite again and have wordpress recognize that as my default? Then do I have to upload all of my files again?

yeah i’m pretty sure my backup is the plugins and such…

I’m looking at my zip file…

a bunch of php files… like wp-settings, wp-login, wp-load, wp-feed etc. (many more) and also 3 folders wp-includes, wp-content, wp-admin

Learning my lesson for sure here. DOes this mean I’ve lost all my content? If so, what now-how to at least point things back to be able to get my old admin panel and have Housewife Hacks not have WordPress think it is really the other blog? I couldn’t find that file when I looked at PhpmyADmin. ??

Hi Michael,

My host says it doesn’t keep backups. I backed up my files but I don’t know if I backed them up correctly… I didn’t export from PhpmyAdmin as I now think I maybe should have? I think I used a plugin on WordPress to back up my stuff and then I manually downloaded my files too. on Hostia I can see that I have my collection of files (i’m looking from my file manager, not in mysql databases) and then there’s a zip file that is what I believe to be my backup. It’s titled housewifehacks.com.zip and it’s about 34356 KB. Not sure how to even use that.

Thanks

I went into PHPmyAdmin and the only thing I see when I click databases is this:

wp_comments
Browse: (7 Rows) wp_links
Browse: (161 Rows) wp_options
Browse: (2 Rows) wp_postmeta
Browse: (4 Rows) wp_posts
Browse: (2 Rows) wp_terms
Browse: (10 Rows) wp_term_relationships
Browse: (2 Rows) wp_term_taxonomy
Browse: (9 Rows) wp_usermeta
Browse: (1 Rows) wp_users
Browse: (18 Rows) wp_wpsb_users

The hosting service said that I could upload a backup by finding the .sql file… I don’t even think I have that. I went to where my files were on my site management panel and zipped them. Like my plugins, my headers, etc.

Not sure how to find the wp_config file. THanks and sorry you’re having to spell it out.
