cindyjs on "where are my blog posts"

I have not used my blog from a couple of years, and I can no longer login. Either google blocks me with a malware message, or I get a php error.

How can I get in.

And when I ftp in, I cannot find any blog posts. I can find a few pictures in uploads, but no text. Where should I look?

I also have several files of type "SUSPECTED" -- where in the world did these come from?

Are you talking about self-hosted site with own domain?
Blog posts are situated in a database (you can't see them through ftp)

It's on HostGator.

If I can't login and can't use ftp -- how in the world do I get to see my posts?

How do you get to that database? Where is it?

The HostGator guy told me to use ftp -- so what is the correct procedure?

I can use ftp to see some of the pictures I uploaded, but the text of the posts is mysteriously missing.

the login error:

fatal error: call to undefined function wp() in wp-blog-header.php on line 14

Does anyone understand how WordPress works, and can explain how I can recover my old blog posts? They are somewhere, I just can't quite figure out where.

We are sorry to hear about the issue you are experiencing. The blog posts themselves would be stored in the database for the blog. Please reach out to our live support team and the will be happy to assist you with resetting your passwords in order to access your blog as well as your files through FTP, and assist with the error that you are receiving.

Can you tell me where in that database to look?

Hi Cindyjs,

While we can certainly let you know that WordPress posts on our platform are typically stored in the wp_posts table of the database, it sounds as if you're having some additional troubles that we'd like to review with you.

If you've had any trouble receiving help via chat.hostgator.com or by calling 1.866.96.GATOR , if you could please contact us via [email protected] and reference this post, we'll be glad to provide further assistance.

Actually, is that a Hostgator database, or WordPress? Where exactly is it?
