Jan, many thanks for your reply, I appreciate your help. Now I understand what’s going on.
I got a design in a psd from a designer, then got a developer off elance to code it into a wordpress theme.
He edited up the basic 2013 theme I was using instead of creating a new one.
Talking him now, he’s insisting this is my fault for updating wordpress. I’m saying that wordpress updates all the time and he should have known that this would happen.
I don’t have a backup, unless there’s auto backups somewhere from previous days on hostgator?
