You do not have to worry if you delete the article intuitively. The article is not deleted directly, but it moves into the Trash Manager. In Trash Manager, you can restore it. To access this, click Content > Article Trash menu.

Here are the steps

• Log into your host ing account, nav i gate to your Word Press instal la tion, and down load your wp-content folder.
• While your here, go ahead and backup your wp-config.php file.
• Google up “Word Press Data base Backup” or click here ->http://www.ilfilosofo.com/blog/wp-db-backup
• Install the plu gin, and use it.  Either down load a copy of your backup, or have it emailed to you. (this is just precautionary)
• Nav i gate to your dash board, and under plu g ins, deac ti vate every thing (in case it is not compatible)
• Visit WordPress.org and down load the lat est version.
• Decom press the .zip
• Using your FTP pro gram, login to your server, and delete the wp-admin, and wp-includes.
• After words, select every thing in the new word press folder (that you unzipped) but your wp-content, and wp-config-sample.php.
• Copy those to your server, over write as necessary.
• While those are trans fer ring, open up your “backed up” wp-config.php file, and take note of the login, pass, and hostname.
• define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘puty our db name here’);

/** MySQL data base pass word */ define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘your pass word here’);
/** MySQL host name */ define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘local host’);
/** MySQL data base user name */ define(‘DB_USER’, ‘usernamehere’);

After you have replaced that infor ma tion from the wp-config to the wp-sample-config, rename the wp-sample-config to wp-config.php.

• Upload that file to your server now.
• Then log back in to your dash board, and reac ti vate your plu g ins one by one.
