 * My hosting provider told me that my site was eating a lot of RAM, so today I 
   decided to try and optimise a bit.
 * I installed WP Super Cache. (I thought I already had it and was surprised that
   I didn’t). Anyway, it couldn’t read something so I decided to uninstall it and
   try a different plugin. When I uninstalled it, I got a Fatal Error. So I spent
   a good couple of hours looking for a solution to the fatal error.
 * The solution that seemed to work for most people was to delete WordPress except
   for the wp-content file and reupload it.
    That did nothing for me. I was still
   getting the fatal error.
 * > Fatal error: Call to undefined function nocache_headers() in /home/cracking/
   > public_html/wp-admin/admin.php on line 33
 * Another person suggested deleting the wp-config.php file and then trying to log
   in again.
    I backed up the file first, then went to the site. Sure enough it 
   asked me to create a new config file that used the same database info as the 
   old one and then sign in. I signed in using my usual password.
 * So I was horrified when I was in that the dashboard looked as though it was a
   brand new site.
 * So I deleted that config file and put the original back, but now I’m worried 
   that it’s overwritten my database somehow and I’ve lost everything.
 * Can anyone help at all?

 * Your hosting providers should give you an interface, called phpMyAdmin for example,
   that will allow you to explore whether your database tables have indeed been 
   wiped.

 * Thanks. I was looking in there before but must have overlooked them in my panic.
 * The posts in the database have a different prefix to wb_
    So, what do I change
   to make it read the proper prefix instead of wb_?
 * Should I delete the config again and do the sign up and place the new one in?
 * EDIT: That worked. Everything is back.
