    My blog, which I have put a huge amount of work into has suddenly disapeared. I have a totally blank page with the code…

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN”>
    <HTML><HEAD>
    <META content=”text/html; charset=utf-8″ http-equiv=Content-Type></HEAD>
    <BODY></BODY></HTML>

    I am running 2.7.1 and Just before this happened, I installed the following plugins…
    Cookies for Comment
    WP Super Cache
    Google analytics for Word Press

    I have since deactivated them but it has made no difference. I have searched the forums but haven’t been able to find anything relevant to this case.

    Can someone please shed some light?

    James

    You could also try re-uploading the wp-includes folder and the files in your root WordPress folder. Just be careful that you don’t over-write your wp-config.php file.

    Thank you Esmi,
    I can see all my posts in my dashboard (but not in my blog) and have now backed up my blog. I will do as you say, but I am a little hesitant to start overwriting files that might be required. Have been searching to identify such files with little success.

    Are you saying that within the wp-includes folder and the files in the root directory, that wp-config.php is the only file I need to be careful not to overwrite?

    Thank you. James

    Well after quite a bit of searching I found a good post that described the structure of wordpress and the files to NOT overwrite.

    I since did what Esmi suggested and overwrote the root directory files and then the wp-includes folder, but I’m afraid I have exactly the same problem.

    I can see all my posts in my dashboard but the http://www.qmagnets.com/blog site is completely blank, not a jot or title.

    Can someone please offer any further advice?

    Thank you.

    It appears my themes folder was corrupted. When I looked at the themes in the dashboard there was no custom information or choices. I have re-uploaded the themes folder and while I need to now go back and redo my themes at least my site on now back up.

    Looking back, it’s obvious now to have looked at the themes! Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

    Thank you.
