 * Hello everybody,
 * Today, i decided to change a page from my blog
 * [http://fibromyalgie.x10.mx/](http://fibromyalgie.x10.mx/)
 * I wanted the “article” page to be the main page and therefore, i stupidly changed
 * [http://fibromyalgie.x10.mx/](http://fibromyalgie.x10.mx/) by [http://fibromyalgie.x10.mx/?page_id=2](http://fibromyalgie.x10.mx/?page_id=2)
 * In one of the menues…
 * Now, my banner is gone, i have several bugs as the absence of the admin barre…
   aswell, i can’t reach any admin page anymore to change that adresse back…
 * I’m a super novice, so i’m super screwed… Can anybody help me get the blog back?
 * Thanks a lot

 * Can’t access the page with the stuff i changed anymore….
 * The admin grey barre, supposed to be on the top, is now all buggy and not working.
 * Every click i do lead to the same main page.

 * Unfortunatly, my wp-config.php don’t have that:
 * define(‘WP_HOME’,
    define(‘WP_SITEURL’,
 * I’ll check every file i can to find it. (because that is exactly what i need.
 * Thanks

 * I tried, but it gave me lots of php errors. Could get any page back, so i restored
   all teh files.
 * Now i’m back to the initial problem.
 * Beside acting dumb at the beguining of this topic, i have to admit i have absolutly
   no knowledge in PHP.
 * I paid a guy to create that blog and i still get lots of errors, without having
   news from the coder.
 * esmi, thanks a lot. I really appréciate that you tried to help someone like me,
   with a fantastic “Zero level”.

 * Read that page again. If you can, use Method 2 – editing your theme’s function.
   php file. Follow the instructions **very carefully** and ensure that you add 
   exactly what that section recommends and that you do not remove anything.
 * If that still fails, you may have to consider [hiring someone](http://jobs.wordpress.net/)
   to carry this out for you. For an experienced WP developer, it’s a pretty quick
   job, so it should be relatively inexpensive.

 * Great! using method 2 again (but correctly this time…) i was able to get almost
   everything working back.
 * The blog is working fine, even if i have a php error message on top of it.
 * ERROR_TITLE*/’WordPress » Erreur’/*/WP_I18N_ERROR_TITLE*/, array(‘text_direction’
   => $text_direction)); } ?>
 * I’ll try to understand what it means and to fix it if i can, otherwise, i’ll 
   check how much it will cost to hire someone to fix it, and maybe update the WP
   revision.
 * Thanks for you very usefull help and patience.

 * Then it’s possible that you still have a damaged wp-config.php file.

 * I don’t have a safe backup of that file… (my host is blocking the FTP if i access
   it too much, so my last backup attempt failled)

 * You could try manually re-recreating the wp-config.php file using the wp-config-
   sample.php file as a template.

 * Thanks fo the advice. I’ll try to do this tomorrow. I’m not sure i’ll be able
   to spot the error, because all that stuff has no meaning for me. Almost sure 
   i’ll copy the error at the same time, but i’m 100% sure i will not do any better
   today. (+1gmt)
 * Thanks a lot for your help, and i’m sorry i’m such a noob.
