Title: Deleted Site Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Deleted Site * Resolved [ambrune](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ambrune/) * (@ambrune) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deleted-site/) * Hi, I attempted to upgrade to the new WordPress, 4.1, and it deleted everything but my homepage. I received the following errors. How do I reverse this decision and get my site back? Warning: require(/home/content/08/13104808/html/brune/wp- includes/session.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/08/13104808/html/brune/wp-settings.php on line 122 * Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/content/ 08/13104808/html/brune/wp-includes/session.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php5_3/ lib/php’) in /home/content/08/13104808/html/brune/wp-settings.php on line 122 Viewing 13 replies - 1 through 13 (of 13 total) * [David_G](https://wordpress.org/support/users/questas_admin/) * (@questas_admin) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deleted-site/#post-5721781) * Do you have FTP access to your host? or know how? * Thread Starter [ambrune](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ambrune/) * (@ambrune) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deleted-site/#post-5721782) * No, I don’t know how?

I don’t know of a backup. Is there a number or a way to get a hold of a technician at WordPress? * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deleted-site/#post-5721791) * Everyone helping out here is a volunteer. And WordPress.org doesn’t have any backups or info about any site that happens to be using WordPress software. * Where is your site hosted? * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deleted-site/#post-5721793) * Everyone helping out here is a volunteer – and no one here has any info about your site. Where is it hosted – i.e. who do you pay for hosting? * Thread Starter [ambrune](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ambrune/) * (@ambrune) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deleted-site/#post-5721794) * It’s hosted on godaddy. But I have called godaddy and the guy told me WordPress needed to resolve this issue. Basically, I just need to go back and undo hitting the update button. * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deleted-site/#post-5721796) * There’s no such thing as undo an update. * There’s a problem on your site – but you should be able to fix it. Or you could ask GoDaddy to restore your site from a backup – they generally do have backups of sites. * You’ll need this: * [https://support.godaddy.com/help/article/8884/logging-in-to-cpanel-shared-hosting](https://support.godaddy.com/help/article/8884/logging-in-to-cpanel-shared-hosting) * Do you have that access set up? * Thread Starter [ambrune](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ambrune/) * (@ambrune) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deleted-site/#post-5721797) * My site was hosted on godaddy. I pay godaddy. But I use WordPress software. I called godaddy and a rep there said I needed to go through wordpress to resolve this matter. I basically need to go back into my platform and undo the update button I hit. When I hit Upgrade to 4.1, it said it couldn’t do it and then it wiped out my site. * Thread Starter [ambrune](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ambrune/) * (@ambrune) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deleted-site/#post-5721799) * I’m just trying to get back to my admin page on WordPress.

And possibly some trial and error. If you aren’t able to do that, that’s okay, it’s not for everyone :). * In that case, I think your only options are to either call GoDaddy and ask if they can restore your site from a backup on their servers, or you could consider hiring someone to do this for you.

Thanks for the help. * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deleted-site/#post-5721809) * Yay, glad to hear that. Just looked at your site and one more thing you should absolutely be aware of – your site is using WP 3.8.5 – which is now 3 major updates old. It’s also a major security risk to run an outdated version like that — your site is at a real risk of being hacked. That’s a huge mess that you really don’t want to have to deal with. * Because you are so far out of date, you can’t update all at once – probably why your site went down. You’d need to do a series of smaller updates. * Since I’m guessing that’s not something you want to take on, you really may want to hire someone to get this all up to date for you. In the long run, it will be money well spent :). * Just saying this because I’d hate to see you with a hacked site – and we see it all the time here.
