yes, everything is there, someone had a similar problem, and they solved it by getting rid of the theme folder and re-uploading it, but I don’t want to lose everything I did in the theme. although it is in the database, right? can I just re-upload the theme without deleting the original .. would that just refresh it? I uploaded a new plugin folder this morning, so I have deleted it .and nothing changed. It was never activated because I couldn’t get into the site. should I just hit the refresh button on the remote side of the ftp program? sorry, feeling very stupid! ??
