# Website Missing Almost All Content

 * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-missing-almost-all-content/)
 * My Website: [http://www.serenitystylesart.com/home/](http://www.serenitystylesart.com/home/)
   (
   notice that there is no menu and that there are large empty white spaces)
 * I am using August – Creative Multi-Purpose WordPress Theme.
    I upgraded my Website
   to 4.5.1 (I forgot to backup before hand, I know I should have but it slipped
   my mind- The only back up I have is from about half a year ago and I really want
   to avoid backing it up that far, seeing as I have made a ton of changes since
   then)
 * WHAT I **HAVE** DONE:
    When I viewed my site after I updated, I was missing the
   majority of the content. A few things are still there but most everything is 
   gone, including the menu. I went into my Dashboard and went to the Pages to see
   if content was missing, and my Visual Composer (a August Theme included feature)
   is completely empty. This is how I build my page it sets up blocks and I click“
   Add Element” and I choose from a huge selections of tools that I can customize
   to build my site. All of these “Elements” are gone, and I can not add new ones.
 * I did researching on my own, I went to my Theme Website and they do not offer
   any Support. [ [http://themeforest.net/item/august-creative-multipurpose-wordpress-theme/10539638/support](http://themeforest.net/item/august-creative-multipurpose-wordpress-theme/10539638/support)]
   I did more research and figured that it might be the WordPress Update that broke
   everything (Maybe the new version isn’t compatible with August theme?) So I looked
   up how to downgrade my website (after what felt like Years I did it.) I downgraded
   by to Version 4.5 versus the newest update of 4.5.1
 * The downgrade worked fine, I am currently running 4.5 but nothing changed. Everything
   is still broken.
    I read a comment that somebody left on August Theme saying “
   Ive had the same problem with the 4.5 update.You need to let people know that
   your working on a theme update. !!! Important !!! For all other people needing
   to get around this there is a temporary fix by downgrading to an older version
   of WP. It worked for me and it only took 10 minuets. Be careful when you do it.
   i followed this u-tube video. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwNR6NVhVFQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwNR6NVhVFQ)
   Your welcome” So I thought maybe I had to go further back and I tried downgrading
   to 4.4.2, but it did not work, I don’t know why I was able to downgrade to 4.5
   but not to 4.4.2…
 * I am at a loss and I have spent years working on this site, its been a lot of
   sweat and stress. I am just scared of losing all of my progress and wasting my
   time and a load of money.
 * Does anyone know how I could fix this? Should I try downgrading to 4.4.2 again?
   
   Thanks in advance.
