   Hey Guys,

   I have been working on implementing a WordPress blog into my site for a couple weeks. I had it all up and running perfectly about 15 minutes ago. Then, the dumb person I am - I let Dreamweaver synchronize my entire website from my local drive. So, it took all my local files (including the wordpress directory) and overwrote everything on my server.

   Now, when I go to my site, it just shows a white page! I'm assuming I just wiped everything out, however am very new to WordPress and working with databases http://www.pzgi.com/ss/website/wordpress.

   I'm really hoping someone can help, this is part of my senior project @ school.

   Thanks so much,

   Dan P.

   If you wiped files out on your host server then unless you have a backup of those files you could be in trouble.

   Of course the database is probably intact.

   Don't do anything until you check with your host--they might be able to restore last night's (or other time) backup.

   While you are waiting to hear from your host review WordPress Backups.

   I will definitely check out my host and see if they can reload, thanks MichaelH.

   I can't believe I did this. Anything else I should be aware of or look into?

   If you don't have a backup and your host doesn't have a backup, then your wordpress files (like customized themes/plugins) are history. So don't think there's more to look at.
