Need Help with Database Error

    Hello,

    I have a website that recently suffered an error with the database connection. I fixed the connection, but then the site seemed to be missing all of its styles and pages and appeared as a new install. I tried using my backups but they all acted the same.

    I still have all of my other WordPress files saved locally. However, since the databases don’t seem to work is there any other way to get all of my settings back on a local server? Any help would be greatly appreciated, since I feel really out of my depth with this one. Please also let me know if any other info is needed. Just as I said, I am out of my depth with this issue and have a hard time explaining it exactly.

    Hello,

    Do you have some cache implemented in your site? If yes, you may want to flush it and then try to access your site again.

    Have you already checked if your folder/file permissions are right?

    No, I do not have cache implemented on the site and I have never changed the permissions from the default so those should be the same as always. Again, I am out of my depth on this one and usually just handle the design of the WordPress site. If it helps, the website can be found here.

    Thank you for any help in advance.

    Hey,

    Once WordPress hello post is being displayed properly, your problem should not be your database connection.

    I suggest you to enable WP_DEBUG in wp-config.php and then check for any errors being displayed in your site.

    define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );

    Regards

    I seem to be getting a depracated function error from this regarding my custom background, but that is about it.

    Hello,

    Okay. Since you said that permissions are right, database connection is working fine, and have no cache implemented in your stack, follows my suggestions:

    – check if your site URL is correct in database: http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database
    – check on server-side if have any rewrite messing your WordPress install
    – reinstall WordPress from scratch
    – contact theme author

    Regards

    Alright, thank you for your help. The url was correct so I do not see other alternative but putting the webpage together manually. Thank you for all your help, it is very appreciated.
