Hi pete_398!

Thanks for your responses! I tried posting the contents of the error_log message twice yesterday but see that they never got up here. I’m not sure what happened.

Also, my website is back now. I have no clue what happened and why it went missing for that 24 hour period.

Anyway, thank you for your time and help! I really appreciate it!

Cheers!

Yes, I think so.
There is an error_log under my wp-admin that has the date modified as today but that’s about 2 hours ago and I think the trouble may have started 6+ hours ago.

Also, when I try to fill in the information prompted here
https://www.safefoodfoundation.org/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php

It just says my username is admin gives me a password then I click login and it takes me straight back here

Hi Pete_398.

Thanks for your response! I didn’t do anything on the control panel. Originally, I had it set up so that safefoodfoundation.org redirects to the safefoodfoundation wordpress site (this is because back in May when I built the site, I lost it while trying to transfer it over so instead just did a redirect)
But I have not even logged into the site today and didn’t log into the cPanel until I realized there was a problem about 1.5 hours ago.

Thanks again!!

The site was fine this morning on this very computer. In my cPanel, the only things with the date last modified as today are in my WP Admin. There’s a dump.sql text file an mhgqnp.log text log and a 4MB .zip text generic file.

Thanks for any help!!

I have wordpress on my computer. This is the same computer I always use…

I can’t imagine that’s it. Any other ideas?

Thank You!!

Hi keesiemeijer!
The old site is back up because we needed something there!
I tried to follow all of these steps but I was stuck on step 8.
Actually I was a bit confused by step 1.2 because at the time I wasn’t sure what the root directory was.
Anyway, when I got to step 8 I started moving lots of stuff around and now I don’t know what’s what. At some point I re-uploaded wordpress to my cPanel because I could not get into it. Now I can sign in but everything that was there is lost.
I had backed it up to my computer and to email but I have not been successful opening the backup up.
Thanks for your help!!

Hi WordPress world!
Ok so I REALLY REALLY need help!!
I think I’ve lost everything.
I tried to move the site using cPanel and now I cannot find anything. I cannot log in, my old site is gone as well as the new site I created. I had backed up my wordpress via email and onto my computer but I cannot seem to open the sql.gz file even though I have 7zip.
I am quite lost and would LOVE some help!
Trying not to panic too much!
Thanks!!

I ended up just changing my theme to a new theme with a built in donate button!

Thanks keesiemeijer!
The truth is that I’m not sure which one of these options I want to follow..
I know my domain and URLs will change but I am not sure about the server. I believe my answer to this is that I am using my existing server but I’m not sure. I’ve come into this website development after the initial stages and so I am not sure what was done in the very beginning. Is there anyway to know which instructions I should follow?
Thanks for the help!!

Hi!
Thanks for the help, I’m working on it!!
The site is
https://safefoodfoundation.org/ftp3/wordpress/
What I’m trying to do is make the ‘donate’ button look like either a veggie or a fruit.
I’ll see how I go

I figured it out!! I was under the stylecss template when I should have been under the Page Template in the Editor.

Fabulous! Thanks!!
