Disaster Averted

Last week, I was playing around with my Make Your Copy Count website and manged to delete a plug-in. Unfortunately, this plug-in was the one that all my online courses are hosted on, which meant all my course content just vanished.

Everything gone with the click of a button.

As you can imagine, I had a minor meltdown. I spent months creating those courses. And, yes, I have all the videos, transcripts and PDFs saved, but I had to build all the courses, upload the content, make all the pages and so on, and that took a lot of time.

So I was in a bit of a panic.

I tried to figure out a way to get the plug-in back or restore the courses, but I was at a loss.

So I decided it was time to ask someone who might actually understand how to fix it - my website host.

It took me two minutes to explain my problem to someone via the online chat and the fee to fix it would be a ridiculously low sum of £1.73.

So I paid the £1.73, confirmed I wanted them to use the previous week's back up to retore my site. And then I went to bed. By the time I woke up the next morning, my courses were back.

Phew!

Note to self: don't go clicking around the back end of your site late at night while trying to have a phone conversation with your husband.
