PLEASE HELP, i dont want to do this job again
]]>I was working on a sub-directory install of my WordPress site at: https://www.joelmertz.net/dev/ When I attempted to move my WordPress site into my root directory and replace my old PHP site, I first deleted all other files in the public_html directory, except of course for the “dev/” directory, which contained my WordPress files.
Then, from my wp-admin settings panel, I updated both my WordPress address and Site address to: https://www.joelmertz.net/. After hitting “Save Changes,” I immediately received a 404 page not found error. Now, my WordPress site is in shambles with broken image links, broken links and styles. I am hopeful because it looks like there is still information in my database. Is there a file I should try accessing for reconnecting my site back up?
My hosting company is attempting to restore the site from before this incident happened. Ugh!
]]>Second, I came to the WP site to see what I did wrong and I saw this message “WARNING: The upgrade process will affect all files and folders included in the main WordPress installation. This includes all the core files used to run WordPress, two plugins (Akismet and Hello Dolly) and two themes (Twenty Twelve and Twenty Eleven). If you have made any modifications to those files, your changes will be lost.” Kind of wish I would have seen that first. Anyway, I cannot remember what version I had previously and since the backup that I had from last night will be with that edition I am wondering how I can find out what edition I had. Next, is there a way to bring the backup into the newest update.
Any help would be awesome as I am a WP beginner who is in need of serious help.
Best,

If there is anyone that can help me get my database information back I would so appreciate it!
