 * I apologise for whatever I have done wrong, but as I had not received any communication
   for a few days I assumed that no one was trying to help me.
 * Somehow, probably in the process of adding a discussion forum plug in my site
   went live. It is the smallest of sites with no users or content yet, and I did
   not mean to publish it yet. When I suddenly realised it was live I went to back
   it up and that was when I found I could not get to my Dashboard. Previously when
   it was not published I had felt that it was so basic that I (as the only person
   that could see it) could almost recreate it in a matter of a few minutes anyway.
 * So no, there is no back up available.
 * Once again I am sorry for any inconvenience caused.

 * Hi, anyone!! I remain in despair, I would love to follow the advice “Go to your
   wp-config.php file, and locate and replace this define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false) with
   define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true), and let us know have you seen any error or notice.”
   I can’t find that file anywhere, in fact I can’t find a folder or anything else
   that refers to either “wp” or “wordpress” anywhere on my Mac.
 * I appreciate I am hopeless, but I got into this to help a charity, and it’s all
   going horribly wrong.

 * I activated a Discussion Plug In, it created 3 pages and in fact thats all that
   is on the site apart from a Home Page and Contact Page.
 * Sorry, but where do I find the wp-config.php file? I have searched all my files
   and find nothing.
