“So explain the problems your having and we can help.”

*looks around*

Okay, so the forum isn’t for help then? Where exactly is this magical land of finding help? Because, even though I’ve posted my problem, you all keep asking what it is. Or ignoring the thread, because no one really wants to help a new user. That would detract from the omnipotence that is this forum, of course!

“I read your other posts. Most of what you said makes no sense. Like simply hitting “save” won’t break a website unless you changed something recklessly like blog or site url.”

Well, THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED!!! I’m not going to go and mess around with php I don’t know. I just didn’t like the header text, so I changed it to something else in the Settings (I love how all the instructions say the menu is Options, but I’ve never seen it), and pressed saved.

Bam, insta not work software!

Seems like a huge issue to me.

And no, it’s never worked right for me. Never published a post, or done anything else. But, generally, I do my own coding. I just got bored and lazy this time and tried to find a way out of it. Big mistake on my part, I got what I payed for in heaping helpings: NOTHING!

There’s a php script called Emergency that will fix this issue.

Okay, got my password thanks to a decent hack.

Now the ENTIRE database went wonky, and I can’t access it. Any of it. Yes, I uninstalled the emergency.php hack, and yes, the wordpress folder is still on my server.

But all I get is error 404 messages!
