Thanks, no none of them went to spam, they just never arrived.

I had already uploaded the plug in and activated but havnt got a clue how to edit it as it just shows a lot of code. When I go to customise my contact form the original one is still displaying so don’t know how contact form 7 is supposed to override that and be edited.

Just wanted to say a huge thanks to my fab web hosting company LCN for restoring my site to its original state following yesterdays temporary disaster.

It was certainly a tough lesson to learn …and the morale of the story is never ever refresh or leave the page when wordpress is updating its software.

Thanks to everyone on the various threads who offered advice and to LCN once again for superb customer service as always ??

i’ve managed to restore it to the start of december by re-uploading everything, I have got an online presence at least, although i’ve lost a lot of blogging for a month and all the google analytics that i had done, plug ins, web changes etc since then.

Gonna wait till the morning and hopefully it will be fully restored.

WordPress has now auto updated after i accessed wp-admin. hopefully that wont cause a problem with uploading files from before that latest update.

Relieved …to say the least. Fingers crossed for the complete restore

Thank you for your help this evening ??

I have a copy of wp-config file, I don’t see an .htaccess file anywhere.

I have just spoken to my hosting company again and they have said that they have put in a request to their engineers to find out the last time they took a back up of the site before 4pm this afternoon. Apparantly they said it is likely it was done at midnight last night and whatever I have done should just be restored

I have a copy of my wp-content folder which contains (plugins, themes,upgrade,uploads and a copy of a php file called called index

I have already asked them to do that earlier, they are going to let me know in the morning what date they last took a back up.

I thought it would be ok to delete everything remotely as I had a back up locally ?

Clearly I havnt got a clue what im doing in this respect, its not easy when when your just self taught …I spent a year of my life creating this site and because of the failed update of the software its gone and im stressing now about my google presence. Isnt there a simple way to start again and re upload the files, I dont understand

Thanks for your response, I have actually just deleted all the files from the remote site using filezilla. I now have nothing at all in the remote folder and was planning on uploading all the files from the last back up.

Should I do anything else before I do this ?

ok great thanks, i will have to wait for the back up to finish and then try that and see if it restores any of the blog data

ok thanks, so i may of saved something of the original site before the update corrupted ?

once the back up is completed, how do I upload the database export i have just taken ? is it through filezilla ? if yes wherabouts do i need to upload it to ?

what does the php part back up

how abouts do i do this. im currently uploading the december back up. will it interfere with anything. is it just like doing the normal download of the sql file ?

actually sorry, i have accessed that now

everything seems to of returned to normal now, although a little slow.

No I don’t think its what I’m looking for tbh, are you likely to work on something more like a player solution ? or is there anything out there that you know of ?
