Ah-ha! That seems to have fixed the problem with the categories not working. Thanks a lot. Now if only I could figure out why its still confusing that index file unless you capitalize Blog in the address…

they’re set to the same URL that I linked to at the top of my first post in this thread

All of the Categories work? Most of then don’t when I try, for some reason only two of them will go through. Also, there isn’t an index.html file in that folder at all, that’s what’s confusing…there is an index in the parent folder for the main website but not in the Blog folder, I don’t see how it’s getting them confused.

OK nevermind, sorry for totally freaking out. lol. In the wp-config file there is a line that was specifying wp_ for the prefix, I typed in wp_1 instead and the whole blog came back. I guess I don’t have to kill myself after all.

So, in the Database there are twice as many things as there should be. There are a whole bunch of entries starting with wp_1 and then a similar list of entries under wp_, and all my original Blog posts are in the wp_1 series. What’s going on?

Okay I’m in the database and all my posts are there….I don’t understand. My posts are all in the database but the blog is telling me to start from scratch and name the blog as if I’ve never signed in before. How can this be happening??

Yes I just found something on the host site to change the PHP version, it said I was using version 4. I switched to version 5 and now I get a totally different message when I try to go to the site:

“Error establishing a database connection”

Okay, yes I read through it and changed those values. One of them was definitely incorrect in the Database, I corrected it. Still nothing though, does it take a few minutes to go through?

Oh…no, I did not. I don’t know if I’d be able to do that though, I don’t know what phpmyadmin is.

I don’t know what you mean, sorry. I followed the instructions on that web site…

No, I haven’t updated the wordpress version anytime recently, definitely not anytime today.

Everything worked flawlessly, then I accidentally changed the Site URL, and immediately this happened.

I’ve found this page here https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_The_Site_URL , it describes exactly what I did wrong and how to fix it…only, when I follow the instructions, nothing gets fixed.

Okay I actually just made this same exact mistake, only I can’t fix it. I tried both methods listed on that page and the site is still inaccessible. Any ideas…?

Yeah I’m getting the same message about the PHP version but it makes no sense. I was literally JUST on this site and updating it, and everything was working perfectly fine. I changed this one setting and everything fell apart. Why would I suddenly out of the blue be getting a message that my PHP is out of date? It makes no sense…

Figured out the htaccess file thing and added that string of code. Everything works now! Thanks!

I am using version 3.1.2

I’m using themes from the dashboard? I go into the themes menu and then search for themes and hardly any of them ever work. Occasionally one will install correctly but its never one that I want to use.
