Back almost to where I was
Just about to give up the fight and move it all. I ended up changing it all back over to the old wordpress folder due to error pages showing up about the archives being changed. Now to find the pages that need changing and redo them. Back in a bit.
Got the pages changed out and was able to log in as a user and post a comment so guess that part is working.
Hoping I got the archive structure right in the settings. Will know if the error pages stop showing up.
Now off to add one more plugin and turn it on. More later…
Hey, it showed me logged in already! Something’s going right. Now back to attempt an HD recovery–gotta get a database back from a drive going “click–whirrrr-click–whirrrrr–click” and so on. Two linux distros couldn’t mount it, and oh, how they tried at startup. Yeah, I know, but it’s this or one several months old—and yeah, I screwed up there, too. Wish me luck…
