It is pointless now because all page content and post content is gone, none of the images are loading and I am not sure how to restore the database backup without access to the cPanel. Is this something that went wrong within the server? I am pretty sure this site is hosted by GoDaddy, but I don’t have access to do any troubleshooting with them.

Oh, and this is the error message I was getting

“Your backup folder is NOT writable
To correct this issue, make the folder /home/dkbroberg702/public_html/wp-content/backup-db writable.
Your backup folder MIGHT be visible to the public
To correct this issue, move the file from /home/dkbroberg702/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager/htaccess.txt to /home/dkbroberg702/public_html/wp-content/backup-db/.htaccess”

And here is an archive of the site: https://web.archive.org/web/20150905054250/https://bluegooseinn.com/

What do you suppose happened then? Do you think there has been some kind of database corruption within the server by chance? While I was using this plugin?

here is a link to the site: https://bluegooseinn.com/

1. I got an error saying “backup failed”

2. When I installed the plugin I got an error message saying to change the backup path to wp-content rather than wp-content/backup-db, so I did.

3. I replaced it and it works now.

4. I don’t have a complete one

I don’t think it has anything to do with the database, it is def a theme issue. When I switch to twentyeleven for example, the blog works perfectly.

What is it that I need to do within this theme to get that blog working? In reading, I have set the home page to static and the blog to a page I created. I tried making a template file from the original twentyeleven index.php and renaming it ‘blog-template.php’ then setting the new blog page to that template, but it is still referencing the highly customized index.php file within this theme.

I did not set this site up, so I really have no clue how to fix this.

Thank you, so will I be replacing the old WP install? After a backup.

How do I connect the existing database to the new WP install? Do you think there is possible an alternative workaround?

If you don’t mind me asking, what would be the best way of setting up a new site instance?

This theme is really messed up. I think they just copied the entire theme of twentyeleven and renamed the folder, rather than creating a child theme.

Here is the functions.php but I am not finding that post format

Hello WPRanger, here is the link to the content.php I was able to get the sidebar to show up but not the individual posts.

Sure, thank you WPRanger for replying to my long post. And I am also stoked to learn about pastebin.

Here is the link to the blog template code

Also, I just tried creating a test page, with content and it shows up in the front end when I publish it. I also just downloaded a fresh version of WordPress then replaced the wp-includes folder and the wp-admin folder via ftp.

I also disabled the plugins by renaming the folder plugins to plugins-hold, then logged back in wp-admin and changed folder name. I deactivated plugins in the admin as well, one by one.

Is there a different way to check error logs aside from contacting the host?
