Lost the default blog url

    Hi:

    I have a WordPress website/blog http://geniebox.ca. I was trying to add a link to my support system on the main menu. I had a link page to my blog (myblog) so I edited it and made it ‘support’ and changed its link believing that the system would keep the old page and save the edited page as a new one.

    That was not the case, it replaced the link to my blog.

    This is very peculiar as I am sure the link was http://geniebox.ca/myblog. However, no such directory exist on FTP. What is more strange is that I looked at the sitemaps and sure enough such directory was mapped.

    I tried restoring the old website by restoring the following directories to an older backup:
    wp-admin
    wp-content
    wp-includes
    this did not succeed.

    Is there a ‘default’ url to the blog inside a WordPress site? If not, how can I restore the menu structure/links?

    The site you are asking about does not seem to be hosted on WordPress.COM so you need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using.

    This site is for support of sites hosted on WordPress.COM. You should address your questions to WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using: http://wordpress.org/support/

    The forum at WordPress.ORG is not connected to WordPress.COM so you will need to open an account at .ORG if you do not already have one. You may use the same email at WordPress.ORG as you do at WordPress.COM.
