I’m beginning to think I should just delete the old install completely and re-install a fresh instance of WP and then re-import my database. However, I don’t want to mistakenly delete some of the files on my webhost that aren’t related to WP and I’m a little fuzzy as to which I should and shouldn’t (there seem to be two copies of the site files on the server – one in a “public html” folder and one in a folder marked “www”).

The only other problem with this idea is that I have hundreds of megs of image files from my gallery plugin stored in the site backup and I have no idea how to import those back in if I did do a fresh install.

Anyone?

I should probably add that I’m pretty much illiterate when it comes to issues of code and such. I don’t know what could be wrong now that the backups are installed – do I have to change something in the wp_config? Is there something I need to tweak in the database?

Any help at all would be appreciated. I’m just getting frustrated and I’ve been websearching for answers all evening and finding zip.
