Hey Jacob

Thanks for the reply.

The same theme, exact same page except the search box is running on my other site:

https://www.gmsmetals.com

Here it gets the images without a problem, I assumed it isn’t a problem with the theme because of this.

I will shoot them an email as well.

Thanks

Unable to find a solution to this. Can someone help please?

Hey Jackie

Unfortunately I gave up on restoring the data and have instead started up from scratch.

Really appreciate all the help.

Thanks

Hi Jackie,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, WordPress was installed in a subdirectory called cms.

Unfortunately, I went a different way after trying to figure out a lot of alternatives.

Here is what I have done and doing:

Account hosting & Domain: godaddy

1- I reset the hosting and set-up cPanel again.

2- Installed wordpress from cPanel

I still did not get the WordPress “Hello World!” page when I clicked on the website link, it just showed the default godaddy page. The wp admin side was accessible at this point.

3- Ftp to home directory and deleted all the files on the server in that directory.

4- Unzipped the “full site back up” file I had and uploaded the contents of “homedir” to where I had deleted the same files.

I am assuming that I will have to put the cms settings into wordpress somewhere(not sure where, please let me know, thanks).

I will need to upload the database files? (Where and what would they be called?)

Is this the correct way to go about this?

If there is another way to do this, I would be most grateful for it.

Thanks.
