?? Thanks all.
Sadly, I can’t even FTP into the site. Again, this is a lock-out at the server level but the folks at the host ISP are giving me misinformation. I posted in this forum to confirm my suspicion that the host ISP was wrong when they suggested WordPress instituted the lockdown.
I appreciate the assistance but I am fairly convinced the problem rests at the host.
thanks again to everyone,
jim
