Hello to get your photos back you need a database backup, If you dont you can try this in the link below but make sure you fix your server paths first in global options and storage options so uploads work. I take it you lost your photos as your paths where incorrect. http://www.photopost.com/forum/showp...68&postcount=4 | |

thanks chuck,
but all pictures uploaded will be tagged "by touba", isn't it ?
if yes, it is not easier to put all pictures in ulpoads/1/ and do a bulk upload ?

You can do that yes. do it however you wish. The way posted in my reply is the best way to do it to keep all photos in their proper category.

You have checked to ensure your server path is correct as noted above right? Have you ensured safe mode is off in php? Permissions have been set on the data and uploads directories every level down to 777?
That should cover the things to check.
