Hi Jessica, did this work?

I am having a similar issue, and truthfully it is beyond my technical ability to work it out.

For anyone else who may read and who may be able to offer guidance I will explain a a little and thanks so much in advance.

I had a www.ads-software.com site hosted by Hostgator, the costs became expensive for the amount of use so I completed a back up and now have a new site (through Square Space), so nice and user friendly for me.

However, from the back up I can only locate the photography and not the written content, does anyone know how to locate writing in a backup folder?? I can’t seem to log on to www.ads-software.com (and of course the domain name is no longer) to see if the writing is on the CMS there?

My laptop died and I don’t have backup of my content. Any help would be appreciated, if it is possible but just needs more technical ability then happy to find someone to help me. Just need to know if all is lost at present.

Thanks so much in advance,
Natalie

Thanks so much for this – the reviews look perfect and one of the screenshots has an add link button so, yes, it seems as if it would work….

However, I don’t know if I am being utterly stupid or it hasn’t installed properly but there doesn’t seem to be any option to use it anywhere? How do you access the plugin when it is installed?

The plugin site does not give instructions which makes me think it should be simple…

Sorry for the dumb questions..

Hi Dustin,

Did you figure this out? I see that no one has responded?

I have just upgraded and am having serious issues with the homepage and no idea how to resolve it!

Hi Cjcornell2

This post does really help me, and I am not experienced in ‘fiddling’ as assumed above.

Sorry to seem dumb but can you clarify where in the style sheet this code goes?

Indeed that was all that was wrong. I don’t think Otto will believe me but I genuinely did try that after reading it in forums, so not sure if it changed back after trouble shooting or what, not sure.

Either way it is fixed. Thanks so much for everyones help.

Yes, sorry I did just change my theme back when I came in from work to check something, though I haven’t activated plug ins if that means anything.

Thankyou, I will email you now. I am not trying to be rude, I understand that both you and Jam and the other moderators are doing great voluntary work that people take for granted, I honestly do appreciate it. I just naively did’t expect such issues. I do appreciate it.

Wow, this is so beyond my knowledge base and your instructions make my brain cry a little…I don’t understand why there are so many people with the same/similar issue but not one fix. Is there no other way?

If not, I will need to go to my host and undergo a complete copy of my site as it is as I don’t trust myself not to mess this up some way and I have so much writing and photography on it and have spent weeks designing it the way I want it. I am not computer literate, I don’t want to do this again.

In the mean time when you say copy files do you mean copy and paste the code to notebook or something for the backup?

Update: I found the error log easily and there are no errors reported, I have only had the site a couple of months and it isn’t live so I haven’t done that much to it. The javascript console says nothing at all!

Oh, OK…when I go to my site now it is basically a blank Twenty Eleven theme with no content, as if it is a new site aside from my menu but with nothing in the pages when you click.

Also, not sure if you mean my WP account with caching or my machine as the problem is on my laptop I am using now, my work computer and also my playbook.

I will see what the theme says and check my access log and let you know.
Thanks ??

Hi, thanks. I am using those three plugins but they are not activated at present and it is 100% Twenty Eleven, if I could attach a file I would send you a screen shot.

Really not sure about the files, wouldn’t know where to look but I will contact my host and see, and I have actually already contacted my theme so I will see what they say.

Thanks, I’ll try these steps.

Hi Jan, thanks for getting back to me.

I have re-done all these steps again, not missing one out and Javascript is still enabled. No success unfortunately.

The link for my site is https://nataliepeart.com The content is missing as it is still on the Twenty Eleven theme, it is usually Bangkok Press if that helps.

Thanks again.

Hi becomebecome,

Thanks for the tip but unfortunately it didn’t work. I have been following a couple of other threads and followed some steps mentioned by others with no luck either.

I am at a loss and this hasn’t been answered by a moderator in days. Does anyone know another option to contact WP?

Hey Josh, thanks.

I actually already took these steps – I did just do them again to make sure, but unfortunately no luck….. still not resolved.

So many people do according to other threads but nothing seems to be working. No way to contact wordpress directly, I am hoping this is a bug that will be resolved quickly.

Hi, t-p

Thanks for the info but unfortunately that didn’t work, however it has changed it somewhat – now there is no option for visual or html(i’m sorry I can’t remember if the second option other than visual was html or something else) and it is just the non visual version. Some of the tool bar has also returned, such as bold, quote, full screen but none of it helpful.

Still not fixed. Any other suggestions from anyone? I have been reading a lot of similar issues after this upgrade from other users. Am I to assume it is a big that may be fixed by wp?

Thanks again.
