Help with a broken WordPress blog?

    Okay, I screwed something up but I'm not sure what. WP-SuperCache was putting some php errors at the top of my blog so I tried to uninstall it using the instructions I found on their website. That broke my site further so I tried using my most recent backup of my wp_config.php file. It made me go through the installation again but nothing with the database. I used the same username and password.

    I logged into phpMyAdmin and the database is still there - everything looks the same. Failing that I have a backup. wp_config.php is pointing to the correct database name and password.

    However, now none of my posts and comments show up. It's like a brand new Wordpress install. I am running 3.0.4. Is there any way to get them back?

    If you need the link to the blog I'll post it, I just don't want to be accused of spamming.

    The people on the official Wordpress support forums are ignoring my thread so I figured it couldn't hurt to ask here.

    Hi Kat2,

    Have you checked the content of your database, like wp_posts? does it show the lists of your previous post or empty?

    wp_ prefix might be something else in your database..

    One of the errors you got from WP Super Cache had to do with a module you turned on for Content Distribution Network, and it could not find the CDN. This is evidenced in the Google cached verion of your New Layout post from 2007.

    As Kimi mentioned above, you need to check your database to see if the wp_posts table has any posts in it. I suspect this will be empty.

    You really need to get a professional to help you out. That would be my suggestion.

    All the posts are still there in the database.

    Never mind, I fixed it. I had it pointing to wp_ as the prefix when it was set to ct_.

    You won't see it if you go to the link above because I've successfully migrated it to my new domain.

    Thanks for your help!
