In reply to: Posts – Blog Month Name Not Number PermalinkThank you for the link! Unfortunately we’re still having issues with this. We thought perhaps a way around it would be to set the word “blog” as a category for all posts, with the permalink structure:
/%category%/%year%/%monthname%/%day%/%postname%/
So it would then read:
/blog/2017/january/22/post-name
But it keeps throwing 404 errors. Any ideas?

In reply to: Including an ASP.net form on WP siteUnfortunately the solution for us was to recreate the contact forms using WordPress’s Contact Form 7. Sorry we couldn’t be more help.

In reply to: Database missing tablesCurse of the phantom database. So you’re definitely right, it is somewhere. I have the name, the username, and the password. It is a completely different database and username that we had on file. I’m not sure how the person set the site up initially, but this brings me closer to a solution. Unfortunately as we are in between hosts, it’s a struggle to access phpmyadmin as a different user. I might get in touch with our old provider to check if he can access anything we can’t.

In reply to: Database missing tablesI have complete access to the old home directory, as well as all the old databases, as we are between hosts at this stage. But even our exceptionally old databases and full backups only have those two tables “login” and “pages”. It’s really strange.

In reply to: Database missing tablesYeah, it has been particularly frustrating as I could see it didn’t follow the proper structure, but there were no other tables in the database to begin with. I’m not sure exactly where the posts were being stored, but it certainly wasn’t on the database.
I have been able to copy and paste content from the pages database backup, but the posts are still nowhere to be found, which is incredibly frustrating since that was our blog for the last year. I figured having a complete database backup would be enough, but obviously that didn’t work out for us. I have never encountered issues like this with databases before, and it seems strange that there are no post tables or generic wordpress structured tables anywhere to be found.

In reply to: Database missing tablesThanks for your feedback @arielicas,
It’s strange as backups we have further than that only have two tables also. The posts have been working the entire time up until our server blocked our site from running. It seems like the database wasn’t set up properly to begin with (I hadn’t created the site originally), is this possible?
I will take a look at the site to check for any weaknesses.

In reply to: Database missing tablesEven our backups from 6 months ago only have two tables. “pages” and “login”. Posts are nowhere to be found.

In reply to: Including an ASP.net form on WP siteAh yep, that explanation makes sense, thanks.
I would just be hesitant to rely on iframes as the solution to this problem, because of the limitations involved. Making sure the form’s functionality doesn’t break or exceed the iframe, etc. Especially as the site we are creating is responsive. The aspx file would have to be altered to exclude current styling + layout, and I haven’t any experience working on that specific filetype. I will experiment a little more with the iframe option before I throw in the towel.
Thanks for your input!
