OK, I’m posting here trying to get to the bottom of an issue that has already lost me more than a week in moving my Blog from Blogger to WordPress, and it doesn’t seem like I’m getting much in the way of useful help; but I’ll try once again.

Above, Micheal suggested that I check to see if I have more that one database (I don’t) or if I have more than one table in my database. I’m not a SQL guru, and am not sure how to verify that, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for provide the backup plugins – I have several available to me from Bluehost, but backups aren’t the problem here, the problem is to understand why my database is some how getting repeatedly corrupted after a database restore.

Sounds like it could be an issue with database pointers, but I’m reaching.

Would appreciate any suggestions – I’m dead in the water at this point.

Michael:

I’m not a SQL expert – how do I verify that there are not two sets of WordPress tables in my DB, and if I find that there are, what do I do about it, and which one do I delete or ??

Thanks,

Thanks Michael, I’ll do that.

Oddly enough, I was on the phone with BlueHost this morning. They found and were able to restore my blog to a version just before I lost the site.

Got off the phone with them after verifying that the site had been restored, went to login to my site and again, it was back to the same problem – default theme, “hello world” blog, etc.

Your suggestion makes sense, I’ll check it out and post what I find here.

Thanks,

Envirologic

That worked, thanks.

Given the number of people that are having problems with this, it would be nice if the folks from WordPress fixed the bug instead of having to repeatedly point people to workarounds!
