Hi Thank you all for your advice and help with our volunteers blog at
https://lagiraudiere.com/blog/
The blog is now up and running so thanks again to all but just one question you may be able to help with is,

Once it was running and I could log in and access the blog I had problems loading images. The only way I could load them was via a URL,
I have changed the CHOMOD? or reset the permissions on uploads folder and contents to 755 and now I can load images My question is this Ok or am I inviting hackers?

Again thanks for your help todate
Regards
Paul

Here is a reply from my hosting provider which kind of says that my database seems or was ok for https://lagiraudiere.com/blog/

Dear Paul,
Thank you for the update.
It looks as if some of the files, most notably the ‘wp-config.php’ file have become corrupted and a lot of the code has been truncated onto one line.

The database itself appears intact so I suspect that WordPress will need re-installing into the ‘blog’ directory in order to resolve this issue.

If you have recently added a plugin or theme to this blog then that might be the culprit behind this corruption.

I did not add anything I simply updated. So if I reinstall wordpress how does the new instalation pick up the existing database or do I have to take a backup of the existing database and if so how do I do this?

Normally would the hosting provider keep a back up?

Thank you yes been working on this for over a month now and just seem to be going around in circles all started when I updated to the latest version might just be coincidence but since then problems with images followed by data base errors followed by blank white screen and now back at data base errors.

Could I just reinstall it without loosing the images, posts and pages ?

Just realised should the
/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘lagirau’);

be changed to admin or are these two different things or am I loosing the plot here.
Paul

Hey thank you for your help I have raised a support note with my hosting provider for which I await a reply,

I have double checked the config file with the database and I think they are correct; here are the results minus the password which I would appreciate it if someone could confirm that all is good with these,

config file at lagiraudiere.com/web/blog/wp-config.php

Thanks for your help and your time

Hi I have changed the file with one I had on my computer but still no change. Not sure if the copy I had was in fact a copy of what was already on the server.

Should I download a new copy from wordpress tomorrow. Thanks for your help this evening unfortunately need some sleep after a very frustrating day on the computer.

Will re start posts again tomorrow evening after work
Paul

Ok sorry about the sensitive info was not thinking, have deleted the post and also changed the password via phpMyAdmin but as I said I think the DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD and DB_HOST are as I would exspect them to be.

Thanks I transfered the file over via FTP to my computer and opened it using notepad+ and here are the results;

I think or presume these are fine how should I check they are correct?

Thank you for your post, when you say check I presume you mean open up the file on the server via my ftp and if so what do I use a simple text editor or notepad+ ?
sorry to ask what may be an obvious question but a little new to this.
