Hmmm, I pulled this out of the style sheet:

/**********************************************
* Structure: Content, Sidebar, etc. *
***********************************************/

#outline {
width: 855px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
background: #fff;
font-size: 1.3em;
}

Is there an “align to top” code I can insert here?

OK, GoDaddy just got back to me this morning with the following reply:

Thank you for contacting Online Support. You will need to import the database as it is sitting in your hosting accounts root directory in the _DB_Backups folder. Please export it to your local computer and the import it into your hosting account. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please let us know if you have any further questions, comments, or concerns. Our service departments and telephone lines are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to accommodate your needs anytime.

Am I just thick here or is this lacking in explanation? I’ve already downloaded the copy they made for me. But where am I to upload “into my hosting account” so that it becomes the active database for WP?

Thanks for all the replies so far, I’m appreciating everyone’s assistance. YOU guys should be running GoDaddy.

I emailed GoDaddy support after their telephone rep offered no answers. This was the reply I received this morning:

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for contacting Customer Support.

We have provided a backup of the database in question, it is now located in the _DB_Backups on the root of your account.

Regards,
Advanced Hosting Support

I sent a reply of my own asking why I could not view my own WP database or use phpMyAdmin.

Although I suppose I could just save their backup and proceed with the 2.2 upgrade.

I’ve also been making database backups using the Database Backup 1.7 plugin for some time, but they seem kinda small. I’ve been blogging for just under a year now and these backups from the plugin are only about 485kbs. I know the content itself isn’t being saved, just the DB, but it still seems kinda small. Am I off-base? The SQL database GoDaddy just mentioned doing for me is 10.59 MB.

Actually, we did create this page, as it did not exist in the prior template, either. We just added another ‘Page’ as normal and her comments have been recorded there. Now they are gone.

I’ll try and find that code, but I don’t know if I can locate the comments in the db.

Thanks, guys. I have Akismet, which stops about 600 spam posts per day. Which other plugin is best suited to complement Akismet?

manstraw, I’d happily allow access to the site. Is there a way to create a temporary admin account for someone to do so?

aadil, I’ve done what you suggest several times now and I don’t think the problem is with the sidebar.php. Here it is, copied exactly from the Theme Editor:

<?php global $freshy_options; ?>

<div id="sidebar">
<div>
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
|| !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
<?php if(function_exists('yy_menu')) : ?>
<h2><?php _e('Navigation',TEMPLATE_DOMAIN); ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php yy_menu('sort_column=menu_order&title_li=',
'hide_empty=0&sort_column=name&optioncount=1&title_li=&hierarchical=1&feed=RSS&feed_image='.get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory').'/images/icons/feed-icon-10x10.gif'); ?>
</ul>

<?php elseif (function_exists('freshy_menu')) :
freshy_menu($freshy_options['args_pages'],$freshy_options['args_cats']);
endif; ?>

<h2><?php _e('Search',TEMPLATE_DOMAIN); ?></h2>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>

<h2><?php _e('Links',TEMPLATE_DOMAIN); ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php
$link_cats = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM $wpdb->linkcategories");
foreach ($link_cats as $link_cat) {
?>
<li id="linkcat-<?php echo $link_cat->cat_id; ?>"><?php echo $link_cat->cat_name; ?>
<ul>
<?php wp_get_links($link_cat->cat_id); ?>
</ul>
</li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>

I think there is another issue with how the template is calling to a different sidebar.php, somewhere. As you can see, the sidebar.php in the Theme Editor has the correct code.

I guess this is one that can’t be solved…
