  Hey,
  This is my first post here. I need some help. Actually I have been making a site, but due to some error, there was a big issue in the interface and admin did not work properly. So, I downloaded my wp-content & wp-admin folder through an FTP. I thought just uploading later would restore the data. But this is not the case.
  Can someone help me restoring the data? The only important thing I need to restore is the homepage design(including the images).
  If someone could help me regarding this issue, it would be of great favor. Thanks.

  hackwinks.com is a self hosted WordPress site. Because of that I do not have any access to it.

  What happens here at WordPress.com is a bit different from the self hosted version. This guide outlines some of those differences: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  The best place to get help for a self hosted WordPress site is on their support forum at https://wordpress.org/support/
