No, I’ve been trying for two days now to FTP to my site, and I haven’t been able to. I downloaded WP and got into the config file with a text editor, but I’m lost.

All I’m trying to do is blog, and I did that on WP sucessfully for several years. I’m not trying to be a webmaster or anything. If I could find a consultant, I’d happily throw money at the problem, but I haven’t been able to find that either.

Thank you, but I don’t know how to find my config file or to upload it if I change it.

I’m not trying to bump, I got a response from Dreamhost:

You need to compare the database configuration file settings between your
old, disabled version and your newly-installed version:

/home/cowgirljules/cowgirljules.com/wp-config.php
/home/cowgirljules/cowgirljules.com_DISABLED_FOR_EXPLOIT__CONTACT_DREAMHO
ST/wp-config.php

It looks like the primary difference is the old version you had the
table_prefix variable:
$table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

In the new installation you have:
$table_prefix = ‘wp_35rcwy_’;

So your new installation is looking at the wrong tables. Your old data
is still in the tables with the “wp_” prefix. You should check the
documentation/forum available at www.remarpro.com if you need assistance
figuring out how change this setting.

So they’re throwing me on your mercy. I do need help; this might as well be Greek to me.

Thanks

I know the database name, user, and password, but I don’t know how to find or edit the wp-config.php file. I did some searching in the database and here. I didn’t download anything to my computer and then upload it, so I don’t have any text files to look at. I used their “one click.” How do I find this file?

Found the fix or a workaround by changing the status in my MySQL database.
