Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionWell miracles still happen these days! I did change the names of the tables with phpMysql “Operations” to wp_categories, wp_comments, etc and it works! At least I get the blog as it was before the weird change.
Thanks a lot for your help. Hope this thread can help someone else with the problem.

In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionI’m not sure I understand the question. The name of the database is wellmast_wp1 in the wp_config.php file. In the phpMyAdmin the database shows as _wp1 (9) for 9 tables I guess, but the tables are called wpboriscategories, wpboriscomments, etc.
Is that the issue? and if it is, how do I rename the tables?

In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionOops!
After dropping the wp_ tables I get this message when I try to access my blog:
“It doesn’t look like you’ve installed WP yet. Try running install.php.”
which I had before and prompted me to reinstall! Is there a way to get out of this loop?Any idea?

In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionThanks a lot Mosghu. I did a backup. I still don’t understand why the wp_ has been changed in the old tables names. But as you say it was my luck 🙂 Could someone have had access to my tables and modify something? That would explain why I got the “error establishing a database connection” in the first place as I personally had never changed anything when that error suddenly occured…
In any events thanks again I will try the new tables’ drop and wish for the best 🙂

In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionThanks Moshu,
That’s what I was going to do. Just a question:
The new tables have a wp_ prefix and the old ones have been changed somehow into wpboriscategories etc. Should I rename them with the wp_ prefix after deleting the ones created by the reinstall?Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Theme disappearedhi Joni,
You’re absolutely right http://wellnessmaster.com/blog is what works.
Thanks for the tip on .html I will delete it.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Theme disappearedRight on!
Somehow I did screw up with the siteurl and finally could restore it to a valid value. Now it works beautifully 🙂
Have a look at http://www.wellnessmaster.com/blog/index.html. Doesn’t it look better!
Thanks a lot. I hope I did not exhaust the whole team of WP supporters. Anyway it’s great to find such a helping hand when you start and have everything to learn!

In reply to: Theme disappearedThanks a lot for this new help 🙂
I did clear cache, cookies etc but still get the same result.
I also tried MS Explorer instead of Mozilla. Same thing.
If you want to have a look try:
http://www.wellnessmaster.com/blog/index.phpIt seems to just show a few test posts that I entered, but all the rest images, theme etc is gone…
I also would like to know how to delete parts of the archive that does not make sense. I suppose left over from the sample…
Any idea is welcome!

In reply to: Theme disappearedWhen I give as url http://www.mywebsite.com/blog/wp-login.php
It returns to the directory list: http://www.mywebsite.com/blog/wp-admin/ without login in…I tried to change the theme back to wp clasic to no avail. Something seems seriously screwed up.
I will probably reinstall the whole wp with the theme.
Is there a way to reuse the few hours spend customizing without recreating the same problem? WP says that I have to clear the whole database in order to reinstall. I can save the files and copy and paste here and there, but there must be a better way. Any idea?
Thanks again for your help.

In reply to: Theme disappearedI will try, but I’m not even sure how to login now!
When I click on wp-config-sample.php I get a message that says:
“Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost.”
There does not seem to be a problem with the host. I went in Cpanel my SQL and tried a repair of the WP database. Eveything seems Ok there.

In reply to: Theme disappearedSorry I meant Index.php. Not yet used to Php…
Index.php does exist and when I click on it from the directory list I land on the text of the blog with no formatting except different fonts but no theme.I’m talking about the index that shows on:
http://www.mywebsite.com/blog/index.phpWhere do I find the one you mention from WordPress installation?
Thanks for your help.
