In reply to: Website gone missingHi Scott,
Yes unfortunately that’s correct. I’m not familiar with UK laws regarding this type of thing. But in the US your only option at that point would probably be some type of civil litigation which can be more trouble than it’s worth.
If you had a good backup of your site I could have it up and running on a new server/web host in an instance.
You should always have a backup of your site for this reason and numerous others.
I would suggest learning from my mistake, move on and get your site going again on a new server and setup a solution to back everything up on a regular basis.

In reply to: Website gone missingAhh, I just clicked on the second link, it appears the server is there but your designer’s website is also gone.
No contact in a couple weeks probably isn’t a good sign. Here’s their whois information if that helps you out any.

Just so you know in the future, always keep an off-site backup of your website… backing it up on the same server it’s on would be of no use in your situation.
I use the free UpdraftPlus plugin along with Dream Objects cloud storage for my site and my clients. If you just have a small WordPress site a free dropbox account should suffice for storing your backups.

In reply to: Website gone missingGood chance his server just went down and he (or his hosting company) haven’t noticed and rebooted it yet.
Backups are a good thing to have though if it becomes something more serious.

In reply to: [Image Cleanup] Fatal Error — Allocated MemoryI just had similar errors to what packgrad2k1 was having on a site, I ended up bumping the php memory on the vps up to 512mb per script.
Deleted 13,673 unused images and over 700mb of disk space. 🙂
Thanks very much for all of your work and I’ll leave a review right now.

In reply to: Best way to develop WordPress siteI usually start out building the site locally using Wampserver. There are numerous programs like Wampserver or Mampserver if you’re on a Mac that will set up a LAMP environment on your local setup.
The reason I start out building the site locally is so I don’t have to update the CSS file via FTP every time I make a few changes and check them. Saves time.
After I get the bulk of the css stylying and customizations done I’ll put the site online live in a subdirectory. To do this…
1. FTP or SFTP all of the files to the server.
2. Open phpmyadmin and export the database .sql file.
3. Create a new mysql database, open the database in phpmyadmin and import the sql file that you exported from your localhost.
4. Upload this script, open it in your browser and replace the old path from your localhost with the new path of the url.

Login to your wp-admin area, click on Permalinks and update the permalinks…. if done correctly everything should work perfectly.
Once we have a test site up in a subdirectory the client can give me more input and I can finish up the site.
When we’re both happy with the site, I move the site into the main directory using the same process I gave for moving the site online from my localhost. Except your database will already be there, you won’t need to export and create a new one unless you want to keep a separate dev/test site setup.

In reply to: [SitePush] problem with dbs config fileHi Mark, I had changed my passwords to more compatible ones before I noticed you were enclosing them in quotes and escaping them so I can’t say. Thank you for bringing us one of the best plugins ever, I only wish I had discovered it sooner. 🙂

In reply to: [SitePush] problem with dbs config fileI’m having this problem with a site. I think it’s being caused by the “&” character in my database password.
