Good news, Dreamhost had backups of all our databases, even the one I deleted (because Judy Garland told me to), and the support guy just copied them into my directory.
My brain is fried from trying to straighten out the mess I made with thepan.org, so I'm no longer able to rationally troubleshoot anymore tonight, but I have one last request to the Wordpress hackers on this list: Do any of you know about Wordpress feed generation, and why our raw feeds aren't populating? http://thepan.org/admin/wp-rss2-qt.php http://thepan.org/admin/wp-rss2-wmv.php They're custom versions of the wp-rss2.php file, with just a custom enclosure element, and they've been working fine for almost a year now, but when I messed up our database, I had to reinstall wordpress and something got messed up. I use too many commas. AQ On 11/17/06, Adam Quirk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yep, I saw that.
