First, WP Forum has a wealth of info and very knowledgeable people. The only problem is that you can get so many answers for one question.
Since my site was hacked I’m very paranoid right now and need to get this straight so please bear with me:

I have backed up my wp-content folder (along with all the other wp folders) and I have backed up the database thru cpanel.
If I got hacked again tomorrow, wiped everything and wanted my site to be in the same state the site’s in right now I would have to :
1. Restore the database
2. Restore my content folder

Is that about right?

Is it normal that the database file is less than 1mb zipped?

SO in order to backup an entire site one must back up the database file and all the wp folders etc.?

Are you kidding?
My Wp-content folder alone is over 30mb.

So why was the database file less than 1mb?
I followed the WP help exactly for backing up using cpanel.

Can someone explain to me what the database is compared to the wp-content, wp-admin etc.
Is it possible to backup the entire site at once?

That line is not on that page.

No change.

Thanks so much.

My changes can be anything from editing a php file to uploading photos.
This can’t be part of the database can it?

Ok, I backed up my database and it’s only 118k
What about all the content that will be changing over time?
I just did an ftp transfer of my root directory to my local disk.
I’m can’t help feeling there is a better way to do it?
I want to be able to restore in one click if possible.

Contents pasted.
Why supply a link?

slinky005, do you have a loop-single.php file, or a single.php file?

Yes I have a single.php

Here’s the all of them:

404 Template
Comments
Contact_Page Page Template
Footer
Header
Home_Page Page Template
Main Index Template
Page Template
Portfolio_Page Page Template
Search Form
Sidebar
Single Post
Theme Functions
breadcrumbs.php
style .css

Not sure if this will help but here it is: https://themeforest.net/item/kinetic-html-portfolio-and-business-site/full_screen_preview/106059

Though I do appreciate the help here I’m confused. Two people are telling me two different things.
What does “comment this out” mean?
If I’m looking in the index.php, what am I looking for?
When you say “without knowing the theme…” is there any way I give you more info to get me further along?

And if these questions weren’t enough – how do I remove the date, category and no comments yet? https://www.teentourtheatre.com/?p=15

Sorry for the newbie questions but I’m really trying hard here….
