   Some back story... On my server's control panel, it showed two wordpress installs for my site (greenintheghetto.com), one was able to update versions, another wasn't. I figured I accidentally installed the other in the beginning so deleted the one that wouldn't update.

   This apparently resulted in my site not working at all. Servers tech support said I just have to reinstall and start from scratch. So I reinstalled... greenintheghetto.com

   My themes were still there, but of course no entries, comments, widgets, etc.

   the cache on google still shows the old site I know and love, except. of course, all entries older than those shown aren't showing up.

   Is there some way to recover the old stuff. ANY way? I downloaded everything from my server before reinstalling word press. I just don't know where this stuff would be hidden or how to recover, but.. surely there's a way. Right? :\

   Do you have a recent database backup? Do your hosts have a recent database backup?

   im not sure? umm... when i installed once more, it gave me the option to do it from backup and showed one from the same date as the cached site on google. i tried to use it, but i forget why I couldn't... ill see if i can get it up again.
