haha rocipo at the moment it really doesn’t seem like a great way to learn!!!

i’m new to ftp and wordpress, which files do i delete?

When I log onto ftp I see a load of folders:

.attracta
.cpanel
.fantasticodata
.htpasswds
.sqmailattach
.sqmaildata
access-logs
etc
mail
public_ftp
public_html
tmp
www

ok, I think I have really messed my site up know changing a deleting files. In cpanel my disk space usage is over the limit. How do I reset everything on my site so that I’m back to the base of just having wordpress installed and I’ll start again.

I first tried to reset the plugins.

I can do steps one and two below, but I cannot do step 3 as my site still shows the fatal error. is step 3 via the wordpress dashboard? if it is I cannot access the dashboard.

1. Via FTP or your host’s file manager, navigate to the wp-contents folder (directory)
2. Via FTP or your host’s file manager, rename the folder “plugins” to “plugins.hold”
3. Login to your WordPress administration menus (/wp-admin)
4. Via FTP or your host’s file manager, rename “plugins.hold” back to “plugins”

I also tried by using phpMyAdmin
and in the table wp_options, under the option_name column (field) I DO NOT have an active_plugins row

ok i’ve just tried to deactivate plugins by using phpMyAdmin and in the table wp_options, under the option_name column (field) I do not have an active_plugins row

thanks guys. if i follow esmi’s advice will i loose all the customisations that i have done in my theme?
