Well, our old webhost wiped out our super customized forum and theme design with their one-click installs and updates. It overwrote our Clean WP Installation and Custom WP Theme, and unilaterally updated the Forum, which overwrote everything. Oh well. Good thing I have backups (and screenshots) of some old files, so I can rebuild the core structure. Still praying about just converting old forum articles to blog posts and then start a new forum. 🙂
Just rebuilding Forums and Topics from another Forum Installation.
P.S. In the process, I was able to build the CW CMS and the CW Simple Site, for the other domains that got wrecked. Of course, there is that option to dig through Archives . org … because the oldwebhost said “I had no contents” on my main domain. LOL! And so I took a screenshot of the domain which had an ecommerce site from Archive . org. Imagine multiple ecommerce sites destroyed and wiped out and overwritten. Yeah, they destroyed numerous websites, and then did “clickjacking” to point to their “sales page”. And then I was getting pitched $300 per domain so that their “WP Experts” can fix my domains that they destroyed. Why would I pay for something I did not destroy? To stop the sales pitches, I just said, “Look at the footer or ANY of the websites that I am an Admin of, I made my own WP Theme, so thanks. I’ll figure out what to do next.” It wasn’t just a breakdown of websites, but a breakdown of trust. They were my webhost for 15 years, and this is how it ends. So we will see what God allows me to do next. 🙂
