Recovery of Blog /Droplet - HEELPP !!

Posted on September 17, 2014

First of all I’m a n00b to WP and digital ocean / droplets etc - OK So decided yesterday to try to migrate my blog to a NGINX Droplet (ubuntu). Short story is I buggered it up - am now left with trying to restore a droplet backup / image to my functional blog. Problem site works in a way but can NOT get in to ‘wp-admin’. Have established SSH access and Cyberduck(putty) access etc so can hack - if only I knew where to start - anyone ???
