Ok, here’s where I am now.

In order to even use FTP with Network Solutions, I have to pay $30 to get the Fetch app, according to Network Solution’s website.

So I can pay $30 to attempt to do something that I’m not even sure I can do on my own, or I can pay Network Solutions $60 to clear up this mess.

I’m going to start calling around this week to look into switching hosting companies. I hear good things about arvixe, so I’m going to see if maybe I can kill two birds with one stone by getting a new host and maybe getting my blog up and running at the same time.

Thanks for your help, though.

Thanks, RachieVee, for offering to help!! I would of course rather learn something and try and figure it out for myself than pay someone to do it, so here’s my process so far.

1) Went to Network Solutions (my hosting service) and restored site from older versions. This didn’t effect my WordPress blog, as they informed me that they are two distinct entities.

2) If I were to go to plugin repo to try and restore my plugins in order to deactivate them, would I have to remember which plugins I had in the first place? Because I’m sure I don’t remember. Just for the sake of argument, however, I’d like to try this process on one plugin that I know for sure I had–Jetpack.

So I go to the link you provided, and click on Jetpack, which appears at the top of the page. I see across the top tabs that one of the options is “Installation”. When I click on that it says, “Install Jetpack either via the www.remarpro.com plugin directory, or by uploading the files to your server.”

So, the logical next step, since I can’t use the www.remarpro.com plugin directory, is to upload the files to my server. Where do I find these files?

Thanks again for your help.

Thanks for your help, but I’m afraid you’re talking over my head and ability level. I did figure out that “repo” means repository, but I couldn’t figure out much beyond that.

Basically, if I’m just a nincompoop with a blog, am I screwed here? Will I need to hire someone to help me de-bug the blog, or is there a chance that this could somehow resolve itself?

I’m guessing that I’m screwed.

So I managed to log onto my account, but the page looks very different than usual, and when I try to do anything I either get error messages like ” Fatal error: Call to undefined function _wp_scripts_maybe_doing_it_wrong() in /data/9/1/18/76/1344402/user/1441285/htdocs/wordpress1/wp-includes/functions.wp-styles.php on line 154″ when I tried to upgrade jetpack (which it said I needed to do) or things are blank, like for instance it doesn’t show I have any plugins at all, so I can’t deactivate them.

When I tried to change theme I got the following error ” Fatal error: Class ‘WP_Customize_Theme_Control’ not found in /data/9/1/18/76/1344402/user/1441285/htdocs/wordpress1/wp-includes/class-wp-customize-manager.php on line 1222″

It won’t really let me do anything at all, but I suspect that you’re right that upgrading won’t really help since I upgraded right before everything went haywire.

I’m stymied.
