How does this happen ? I updated my blog today, like every other day for the last 2 years, and went back to look at it later, and all of my tags for all of my posts for the last 2 years are gone, and all of my posts are now uncategorized. My dashboard still shows that I have categories and tags, but the posts show nothing, and none of them are in categories, so the theme does not function properly. Does anyone know what could have caused this and what to do to get it back ?
OK. Host restored back up and all is well. (whew!) But has anyone ever had that happen before ? What could have caused it so that I don't do it again, or can look out for warning signs ?
Possible. Customer service at my hosting company gave me two different database numbers from the main and the back up that didn't match. I don't know what that meant, but when something is wrong, nothing sounds good. Scary stuff man. Another 10 minutes and I was ready to completely freak out and start sacrificing virgins to the web Gods (as if I could find one...'virgin' that is).
