Update wiped everything in admin panel

[Miyabella]

Thank you both so much for your help. Before I try to do a full backup, how can I check to see if the database is being referenced? I'm afraid it's been quite a while since I had to do this and I'm rusty. Again though, I really appreciate all your help thus far.

The configure.php file found in each includes/ and YOUR_SECRET_ADMIN/includes has database information in it.

Hmm, how to explain clearly something I fully understand but have not been able to clearly explain in the recent past...

A number of approaches come to mind: how was the update performed? Did you have to create a new database in phpmyadmin or your cpanel? Did you reference or change anything in the configure.php files as part of providing database information to support your upgrade?

While still suggested to make a backup of your data now, ideally you still have a backup from the past that is a little handier.
