So, I called 1and1 again this morning. The issue was there were two versions of the database for the site and the tech on Tuesday had restored the older, obsolete one.

Anyway, next time, we’ll probably queue up the “wayback” machine and look at some picture from when we were in New Orleans. stay tuned, and thanks for your patience.

Good intentions. I was playing around with the site on Tuesday after posting the previous message. Several themes had been downloaded, and played around with.

Doing some innerweb spelunking, the WordPress add-in WP Reset is recommended for this tasking. Obviously, I didn’t thoroughly read the documentation as WP Reset not only resets themes settings, it resets EVERYTHING, including deleting all the media on the website. Luckily, I had done a site backup, but that was basically just the text, and all the links, no…
