    Should have also mentioned in my messing about I managed to get even three times the tables I needed on the database, thus the new wordpress page when you go to http://www.turtlewings.be/temp

    Having two sets of tables in the same database is not a problem especially if they have two different prefixes. Did you change any site url settings (don’t change it now) or did you just move some files around? What, other than your password is not working correctly?

    try

    – resetting the plugins folder by using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    – switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    We just moved the files around and right now they are exactly as they where when both sites worked, but the main one isn’t working.

    I really just want it to work in the opposite as it was, with the new site at the normal url and the old site hidden. (if possible) at this point if I can just get the new site up and loose the old one that is also ok, just can’t bear loosing a month of work setting up the new site.

    I would really appreciate any advice you might have!

    First we try and get the old site working like it did before (if all the files are in the correct place and the wp-config is correct). Or at least that you can login. Did you try the first two steps?
