WordPress did an automatic update today, Sunday May 11, and while doing so , the site crashed while backing up. As a result, 2 complete weeks of data were lost! That includes comments to giveaways. I will re-post all the reviews/giveaways but I cannot recover the comments on the posts. The good news is that since Giveaway Tools is a separate website, your entries are recorded there. So there is no need to panic if you entered any of the giveaways that were affected.
Since I will have to post again, the giveaways ending times will be extended to recover some of the lost time.
So bear with me while I get everything sorted out!
Yikes! All that extra work you have to do! Hope you had a great Mother’s Day, though!
Sorry you have to do all of that extra work but I would be careful on extended giveaway times as that is against FTC policy and I wouldn’t want to see you get into trouble for that. We appreciate all of the hard work that you do.
Hi Shelly.
Thanks for letting me.
I am going to leave the dates on the giveaways that are up as it.
And just change the ones that I am re- posting as it is like they do not exist right now:(
It is a pain in the butt when these technical things happen! I once had my entire side bar disappear and it took me 3 days to fix it. Sigh!
Oh, my! I am so sorry! What a pain in the butt…
Thanks everybody:)
It is a lot of work, but hopefully will be done in the next couple of days:(
Wow .. I’m so sorry 🙁 . I know how much work is involved in this type of recovery.. what an awful thing!
I hope you are able to get everything back without any problems!
Thanks…I was not able to recover those two weeks so I am re- posting what I lost:(
Don’t you hate when that happens. Sorry you had to do so much more work. You already do so much I don’t know how you get it all done.
