HUGE PROBLEM – Please Help – I lost it all!

1. Next time don’t ignore the warning.
2. Netx time read before you make “HUGE” changes:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
3. You cannot change those URI values based on “fantasy” locations! WP has to be in the place indicated there…

Now go and read this:
http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/
and change back the site_url and home values – if you have access to phpMyadmin.

Well, the first huge mistake was being hosted at yahoo 🙂
Look at their instructions (and also search the forum) – I think you have to install phpmyadmin which is a database administration tool, to be able to do the changes you need.

And just for the record: you didn’t loose anything, everything is sitting there in the database, you just can’t access it because of the wrong URI settings 🙂

wise old man 😉
(that’s how I like to think about it)

This may be a bit OT, but in regard to backups:

I noticed a couple of large fields in the table wp_options when backing up – the field names look like this:

rss_0ff4b43bd116a9d....

Looks like content for the Dashboard or something.

How can I prevent this data from sneaking into my wp-options table?

How do I delete it?

Thanks in advance.
