Upgraded WordPress reverted to previous version

    I upgraded my website (http://www.radioclare.com) to version 2.8.4 of WordPress as soon as I was prompted to (some time in August as far as I remember).

    Since then I haven’t updated the page much as I have been busy with other matters. However, when I checked my site last night, I noticed that the most recent posts from August were missing and the homepage had reverted to how it looked at the end of July.

    When I logged into my dashboard, I saw a message prompting me to upgrade to 2.8.4 – in short, this upgrade which I had already done appears to have reverted back to a previous version, and everything which had changed on my blog since then (all posts, pages and comments) have been completely wiped from my database.

    I have absolutely no idea how/why this has happened or what I can do to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Any advice gratefully appreciated 🙁

    Maybe your host is running a backup copy? Have there been any issues with your hosting company? Server logs might help determine when the changes occurred. It almost sounds like you or your hosting company restored a prior backup of your site.

    Thanks for the response 🙂

    I host with A Small Orange – I heard that they were hacked a few months ago but I don’t know if it would have anything to do with that. I have raised a query with them already and they said that my website “is clean from any exploits or injected code” and that I should consult with the script developers.

    The problem certainly only occurred a few days ago because when I searched on Google, I found a cached version of my website with the deleted posts still in place, dated 26th September.

    I will get in touch with ASO again and ask if they could have accidentally restored an old backup of my site.
