Blog has now stopped working :( (6 posts)

    I had issues with my website and managed to put that back together after reverting to an older backup.

    Now my blog has stopped working altogether. I can't even log onto my WP-Admin. I'm waiting to hear from my host but is there anything I can do?

    For one I dont want to delete all of my content and have to start again. I can access the content via FTP and looks like everything is still there. When I try to access my blog it just seems to time out and IE gives me null answers.

    Anyone help with my situation please?

    BTW, i spelt my username wrong. Any ideas how to change this?

    click on "member" under your name
    next page - click "edit" on far right
    next page - fix it

    your content is in the database - not the files, so your content should be safe
    how about a url?

    Hi Sam

    I can't change my username, it only lets me change my real name.

    url is http://www.kenghaywong.co.uk/blog

    this works
    http://www.kenghaywong.co.uk/blog/wp-login.php
    so maybe save your .htaccessfile - then delete it from server and test

    worked! OMG, I was getting desperate and looking for companies to fix this!

    The admin did not work before I deleted it but everything is back to normal!

    What is the .htaccessfile for?

    *off to make backup*

    permalinks set your url structure in the .htaccess file (plus you can use it for many other things)
