@janznote thanks for the input…I fixed it….The skin folder was not there though I had to extract it from another wordpress installation from another site through FTP and then upload it to my site again …it works now….I wish I could help you but I have no clue what is going on with yours….hopefully Frekel gets back to you soon! Good Luck!!! and thanks again
Hi Frekel, when I said database I meant on my hosting site…yes I did go to the plugin directory and found the photocontest folder but there is no skin directory anywhere. Please advise.
