• Please help…I am completely computer illiterate and I hired someone to build my website. http://www.tasteofkansascityfoodtours.com It wasn’t designed completely how I needed it but I ran out of money and he wouldn’t explain how to use this. I am using twenty eleven and needed a drop down menu. I thought if I updated the theme it would do this for me. Wrong. I lost my entire website. When I go into my dashboard I see all my pages but they are not on my website..please help! I’m trying to run my business!

  • If you see your posts, at least they aren’t lost.

    I can only guess at what happened. My guess is that your developer modified Twenty-Eleven directly instead of creating a new theme or a child theme. When you updated the theme, it wiped out all of those changes. This is normal and unavoidable, but your developer should have known that. I think the part that was wiped out was your navigation, correct? Your pages are there ( http://www.tasteofkansascityfoodtours.com/cafe-gratitude/ ) but it is hard to find them. I’m still guessing. It is hard without knowing what the original site was like but I think that is at least part of it. Unfortunately, I don’t know how that menu was created. If it was hard-coded or used some custom script, it is probably gone and you would need to recreate it. Sorry. You can take a look at wp-admin->Appearance->Menus and see if there are any menus. If your menu is there, look for “Theme Locations” then reattach the menu using the select boxes.

    @jaynich1 – this thread is very outdated and it’s unlikely your issue is the same. Please start your own thread per http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Where_To_Post
