What site? What theme?

Have you tried look in /wp-content/<theme name>/images??

Do you have access to phpMyAdmin on your host? If so, use that to go into the wp_options table and look for the “siteurl” entry and change the value back to what it should be.

If all your modifications were within your theme, then you should be OK. But if you’ve modified core WP files as well you’ll have to merge the changes.

The following Codex link will tell you about backing up your current content:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database

WP-MU is considered a seperate product as far as we go. So if you were to ‘upgrade’ to it, you would have to import your current WP post/comments into it. A direct injection would likely not work as the databases MIGHT or MIGHT NOT match up.

OK..here we go..;)

1) Look at the file wp-config.php to determine what your username (DB_USER), password (DB_PASSWD) and database (DB_NAME) name is. You will use the contents of DB_USER, DB_PASSWD, and DB_NAME wherever I call it out.

2) Login to mysql with: mysql -uDB_USER -p
Enter your DB_PASSWD when prompted

3) Once inside mysql:
3.1) mysql> show databases;
3.2) mysql> use DB_NAME;
3.3) mysql> show tables;
3.4) mysql> select option_value from wp_options where option_name = ‘siteurl’;
– This will now show you what WP thinks your URL is. If it’s correct, leave it be. If not, update it:
3.4.1) mysql> update wp_options set option_value = ‘http://my.new.blog.com/&#8217; where option_name = ‘siteurl’;
3.5) mysql> select option_value from wp_options where option_name = ‘home’;
– This will now show you what WP thinks your URL is. If it’s correct, leave it be. If not, update it:
3.5.1) mysql> update wp_options set option_value = ‘http://my.new.blog.com/&#8217; where option_name = ‘home’;

You can re-run 3.4 and 3.5 to confirm your changes.

Finally type “exit;” to get out of MySQL and see if the changes make your blog work again.

You’re welcome. You might want to enable Pretty Premalinks so that people would start linking to blog.com/archives/2006/03/16/post-title instead of a particular post ID.

That way, even if you blow away a post, you just need to create a new post with the same title to have things work again. Lot easier.:)

Does your webhost give you SSH/Telnet access? If so, you can indeed do it through the command line using MySQL directly, but you will have to use a few SQL commands.
