I screw it up and you fix it! Thanks

I went to bed late last night and couldn't sleep for worrying. I'd made a boo-boo on one of my WP Websites that looked, to me, fatally wounded and unfix-able. All my work gone!

I resolved myself to having to re-build it from scratch. Not a nice thought as these things seem to take me much longer than I suspect it takes more experienced and cleverer WA Members.

I e-mailed the theme developers but am still waiting for there response.

What should I do, I asked myself as I tossed and turned all night? I felt almost too embarrassed to raise a ticket as I knew I was the one who had caused this monumental foul up! Maybe it would be better to quietly delete the site and attempt to resurrect it from the pages and posts I had managed to salvage.

Eventually I bit the bullet and raised a ticket with the Help Desk, throwing myself on their mercy.
I didn't expect any sympathy and and the problem itself looked so intractable, so I had resigned myself to having to do a complete rebuild. :-(

This afternoon I checked the Ticket, fearing the worst. To my utter amazement, surprise and delight there was a message saying, basically, all was well again and the site was up and running again! They'd mended it! What great service!

firehdcovers.com lives again!

I can only say 'Many Thanks' to all concerned at the WA Help Desk and yes, I will in future do my backups, as I know I should.
