I work with a local, non-profit soccer club.
http://www.ayso-santabarbara.org
last week I activated Fall registration. I checked the updates and everything worked and looked good. A letter was sent out to several thousand people that they could sign their kids up for Fall soccer, and... my new pages disappeared, or more accurately had been deactivated and the updates made, lost. Hmmm strange, so I fixed everything, checked it again, working fine, then it disappeared again 2 days later! Fixed again, then it happened yet again. During this time images were reposted that I had deleted from the system, new admin password reverted back to the old one, and basically the site seemed to keep reposting exactly as it was 2 weeks ago. All the prior information remained perfectly intact. How in the heck is this happening? I wrote to the host who let me know there had been a hosting migration, but it wasn't supposed to have altered the site. Why were only new changes involved? And why has it erased my updates several times over a period of 2 weeks? I am the only admin. This site uses the Akiraka Essentials template. Any advice is appreciated. I am afraid it will happen again, and really it is making me look incompetent, even though I don't think I am doing anything wrong.
Thank you!
Cindy

Your host could be running something that re-installs a backup that they have.
Is there a chance that your site was hacked?
If I were you, I would try taking a database backup after you've made all the necessary changes, backup all the files too, then re-install it on a subdomain with a totally new and different database. If this one goes without getting changed, I would use this new install as the main site. You might want to just make it the main site anyways and go with it. Just make sure it's a new database with a new database username and password too. This way there won't be a backup of it to restore.
