Hi gang,
I just logged into the WordPress version of the site tonight to find that several of my pages had been deleted and moved into the "trash" folder! :(
What alerted me to it was that one of the pages that was deleted was the main "Animated Series" index page, which meant that "Animated Series" as a section was actually missing from the entire site's navigation bar! :(
I went into the "trash" folder and found about 7 or 8 pages had just been deleted - luckily I was able to restore them or that would have been several hours of work down the crapper, and in the case of the index pages, a complete nightmare to fix! :(
One of the reasons I'm coming to dislike WordPress is because it appears to be very difficult to back-up pages, and also very easy for multiple people who are working on it who don't understand what they're doing to indiscriminately click a button and break something... :(
However, these pages were so random, I find myself wondering whether this actually happened due to some sort of WordPress software glitch rather than anyone not realising what they were doing - do we have gremlins in the system? :)
This is meant in the nicest and most friendly way imaginable, but I would really urge everyone to please BE CAREFUL if you go into any of the pages I've set up. :) Not only are there days of work in there, but I'm a very busy person and if anything did get deleted, I won't necessarily have the time to re-build them yet again. :)
Thanks guys! :)
Take care... :)
