Hello Tim it’s me, future Tim.

What you need to do is FTP into the site and change the iThemes folder to something else, just add an underscore or something to the start.

Then you will be able to log in and the Security plugin will be unavailable. Then rename the folder back to original name via FTP and refresh the WordPress webpage. The Security option will re-appear, click on it and change the alternative login link.
I think the issue was that you used capital letters and it only works with lowercase. Dumbass!

You were correct. It was a plugin calles Sociable causing the issue.

Thank you so much for the help. It’s very much appreciated.

The backup database file is a single large (6meg) file called entropyo_blog_wp_20091213_085.sql

I have opened it using notepad and can find a whole host of INSERT INTO wp_posts VALUES
I have found one that seems to be just before the missing post. Do you mean I should copy and paste from this SQL file?

Is so, how do I know where I should copy too? Whats the last bit of text to copy too, is there a terminating bit of text I should look for?

Where do I paste this text too? Do I create another notepad file and rename it to MissingPost.sql? Then do I use the Insert option in WordPress and this will just insert that single missing post into my existing blog from the newly created MissingPost.sql file?

Many thanks for the help.
Below is a short cutting from my SQL file just to make sure I have the start point correct.

Thanks for the reply, but how exactly do I go about this?

I have found an ‘Import’ option under Tools and then selected ‘WordPress’. However I am worried this will upload all the posts and not let me select to restore a single one. As the last backup I have with the missing post is a few months old and before I wrote a few other newer posts. So if I restore all I will lose the newer posts.

Many thanks
Tim
