I thought I’d pretty much do the same thing tomorrow. Download my WP files, delete my old database, remove old WP installation, create a new database, re-install WP, and then upload my old files with my posts, comments, etc., then backup my new database so if this happens again I could just upload the backup which should correct the problem. At least that’s what I understood from my research in this forum.
I think doing the above would help solve my problem. Again, this is arrived at from the research I’ve done here in the forum.
I have to do something myself. I’m not getting any help from my web hosts support. I haven’t heard back from them since my initial support ticket. That was two days ago and I still have my problem.
