Where are posts stored?

    I installed a new theme and got “If this file were writable you could edit it.” So I came here and searched. I followed the directions to change permissions to 666. Now my blog is gone. I can’t get it at all.

    I went into the site through Dreamweaver to see if I could save my posts and start a new blog. I don’t see them. Where are the posts stored?

    the blog was at heartofwisdom.com/robinsnest

    I assumed I would find the posts under heartofwisdom.com/robinsnest/wp-content

    Any help appreciated

    posts are stored in a mysql database. they are NOT stored inside any files that are web accessible to you.

    Undo whatever you did.

    Thank you but its too late. I’ve undone so many things I’m confused. Can someone tel me how to find my posts so I can start over?

    Or what the permissions should be set for
    1. theme?
    2. wp-Conetet?

    Thanks
