    When I a few minutes ago tried to open wordpress for some editing I found to my big surprice that I had no connection.
    I open Qnap administrationside and found that wordpress no longer existed.
    Wordpress library are intact on the drive and the question is whether I can install a “new” wordpress on top of the library without damage the contents.
    I put a lot of work into wordpress and really hope someone can help with advice.
    Kind regards,
    icepirat

    You can usually simply replace the files with the copies from your last backup if your database is still intact.

    Of course, if you don’t have a backup, and you’re missing the /wp-content directory, you will be replacing it with a new set of the default themes and plugins. You will no longer have any themes or plugins that you added or modified yourself. Your wp-config.php file will also need to be manually recreated/edited with the proper database and user info, if that is missing.

    Thanks for the reply.
    It is becoming more and more strange, this morning I tried to start WordPress, just to be safe … and guess what happened, WordPress started! I checked my IP address and what did I find, the original IP was back!
    I went to Qnap to see whether WordPress installation also had come back, but it was not!
    How can WordPress run when it is not installed?
    How can a disappearing IP come back again?
    Since I now have access to my WordPress I have, as a precaution copied all my texts into a file and therefore capable to install WordPress again.
    Finally, I have found that my phpmyadmin apparently malfunctioned so I have to reinstall it..
