Title: Lost everything! Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Lost everything! * [nwcajun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nwcajun/) * (@nwcajun) * [21 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-everything/) * I can’t log in to my site ([http://www.nwcajun.com](http://www.nwcajun.com)). I can’t see my site. What the heck have I done. I was having trouble loggin in and finally got the new password uncoded and then I got an error I got before. The answer to that error was “try uploading a new copy of wp-blog-header.php.” so I did that again. That didn’t work so I was mucking around and now nothing works. Should I reinstall?

Try emptying your browser cache and WP-related cookies. * Thread Starter [nwcajun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nwcajun/) * (@nwcajun) * [21 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-everything/#post-121240) * I can see it now, but I still can’t login. When I go to my wp-admin page and enter my password and stuff, it just returns me to that same page. I’ve re-uploaded wp-blog-header.php, but that doesn’t seem to work. * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [21 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-everything/#post-121241) * When it returns you to the login, can you manually alter the url in the address bar to seee if you can get to /wp-admin.post.php ? Which wp version ? If not 1.2.2, download it (link above), and replace the ‘wp-login.php’ and try again? * Thread Starter [nwcajun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nwcajun/) * (@nwcajun) * [21 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-everything/#post-121246) * Okay, I downloaded 1.2.2, replaced ‘wp-login.php’ and now I get this error message: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_login() in /www/n/nwcajun/htdocs/ wp-login.php on line 164 I swear, I will pay someone to get this fixed if that’s what it takes. I think I’m over my head here…. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [21 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-everything/#post-121250) * Try completely upgrading to v1.2.2, rather than just upgrading wp-login.php. More info: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Changelog/1.2](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changelog/1.2) [http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading](http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading) * Thread Starter [nwcajun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nwcajun/) * (@nwcajun) * [21 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-everything/#post-121460) * Okay, I upgraded to 1.2.2 and still get: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_login() in /www/n/nwcajun/htdocs/wp-login.php on line 164 after I log in to my admin screen. The only files I did not replace when upgrading were index.php, wp-config.php, wp-layout.css since I was going from 1.2.1 to 1.2.2. Should I replace those, too? * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [21 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-everything/#post-121461) * And you ran upgrade.php? * Thread Starter [nwcajun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nwcajun/) * (@nwcajun) * [21 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-everything/#post-121473) * Yes, I ran upgrade.php. * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [21 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-everything/#post-121474) * Tricky issue, and you aren’t alone on the forum with this either. What I would try: – backup the files you mention above that you have changed – backup your database. – check you’ve really done the backups. – delete every wp file from the server. Every single one. – redo the wp-config.php file – upload that – upload new files from a fresh 1.2.2 download – try to login. If that works, replace any changes one by one. If that does NOT work, you could consider upgrading to a nightly build. Same drill as above, but running upgrade.php is important this time as it will make db changes. * [villas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/villas/) * (@villas) * [21 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-everything/#post-121486) * A litle sugestions: For your template: its based on “golf” template rigth?! … in comments viu you need to change the CSS to read (font is to litle …i cant read ..) For password lost or some: you need to backup the table wp-users on server database –>in the future, if you lost your pass and cant retrieve another, copy the MD5 number in your back-up (in your HD view with notepad associated with your login) and paste him in same rigth place on table in server database and your old password turns back! MD5 number is something like that: bfd925ta86074bd0300fde7fd09ddd99 sory my english.

Finally, I can log in. Now how do I get all my old posts back on my site? * [Burt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/burt/) * (@burt) * [21 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-everything/#post-121495) * Did you drop or delete your old database? Do you have a backup of it if you did? If not, simply set your wp-config.php file to point to your old database and the same table prefix and it should be business as usual, as long as everything is in the same place.
