buddha trance and whooami,
Thank you both! Tears of joy & relief are whelling up.
If only I’d realised how simple it was from the moment I read whooami’s original post!
I made all the necessary backups. Deleted and then reinstalled all the WP files, changed the wp-config.php file to reflect the original database and password and voila – my blog is back in action!
Thanks to you both!
Major relief on my part!
