will i lose all the posts?

Thanks James… I currently only have access to that page I posted above, the old FTP information and the new servers cpanel. when I checked under phpmyadmin> wp options> active plugins….it’s already set to a:0:{}

i changed the theme name, and nothing happened.

any other thoughts? i’m bordering on desperation here….=)

and (sorry, being a pain!) is there any particular order this should all be put back together in? upload the database first, then ftp, then….? i would think if we put the database up, then ftp’d every single file we’d downloaded….it should just work? yes? she asks hopefully?

=)

The URL won’t have changed, but the server will….that shouldn’t make a difference though should it?

thanks james!!!

It’s not a theme, it’s custom built and a business site that I can’t take down for testing. =)

thanks james..I’ve done the export via samboll…=)

darrelonsite….thanks! My php skills -which are virtually non-existent- may not allow me to understand how that would work. =) replace HOST with my username PASSWORD with my password and frankly I don’t know what the user database name is….the guy who set it up for her won’t allow any access except ftp to godaddy. =) It makes having a very nervous about being hacked client on one side and a non cooperating host on the other side somewhat like the proverbial rock and a hard place. With LOTS OF CAPITAL LETTERS on the emails. lol..

thanks for the responses….

The WDB plugin sends her an email every week with a zip file…would this be an export of the posts and comments? would it be enough to restore the site? I’ve always used phpmyadmin and am not familiar with what this would all restore…I’m assuming not graphics she’s used in the posts etc…it says it will back up

These core WordPress tables will always be backed up:

* wp_comments
* wp_links
* wp_options
* wp_postmeta
* wp_posts
* wp_term_relationships
* wp_term_taxonomy
* wp_terms
* wp_usermeta
* wp_users

Is this going to give her back the site if it becomes corrupt? or just parts?

thank you for your patience…=)

carrie

any thoughts out there? please?

just to get rid of the slideshow, but keep the red bar….

=)

the only thing i found is remove it from showing static page ….that’s what i’ve done for now…i looked under theme options, and in his pdf “help” file…plugins etc….we’ll just have to stick with the not starting on a static page….thanks for all your help!

carrie

thanks…he won’t answer my emails. =) i’ll see what i can figure out!

carrie

It’s not a plugin…and it’s not listed under the guy who made the templates options…I can’t find an “off” button for it…lol…and i’d hate to just start ripping out code!

carrie

ok….not sure what fixed it, but it’s working now…thanks for your help esmi!
