 * Hi, I run suxumuxu.gr with no problems till the day I accidentally deleted my
   sql database. I restored it through a backup but I still cannot navigate my site,
   only the main page works.
    I checked the sql name/user/pass in wp-config.php 
   file. Tried to run the SQL command OLD_PASSWORD but it return the message I don’t
   have access in sql database? Any ideas???

 * Hi suxumuxu,
 * I navigated all the pages of your site with no issues. If you are still experiencing
   this issue, try clearing your browser cache as you may be viewing cached pages
   from when the database was deleted.
 * Hope this helps!
