 * I had my site hacked where they screwed my index.php file. I was told to re-load
   the MYSQL database and re-load it and that should re-create the index.php file….
   it does not. When you try to bring the site up I get garbage on the screen…please
   see link

 * Any help would be appreciated.
 * Thanks

 * Question,
 * I have the site up with the new WordPress screen (Welcoming), I now want to ftp
   over all me old files and directories. Is there some trick to this or can I simply
   ftp over the old files and dir from my site?

 * Yeah, the only files that could be replaced with pre-existing files are the contents
   of `/wp-content/`
 * Everything else is a core file and doesn’t need to be replaced (or you risk downgrading
   the site, which could be dangerous).
