Hey Wes - Thanks for trying to help!!!
One problem with reverting to an earlier set up would be that I moved
the files a few months ago and I don't remember exactly what the
folder structure looked like before. At the time I only tested that
the wiki "worked", but forgot to check that the revision history
worked as well.
However, I also don't think there is a problem with the new location
per se (but could be wrong). When I create new pages, they are created
in the respective folders, and the meta information is all there. It
just remains invisible to the users.
Any other ideas - I am really starting to pull my hair out here?
P
From my email, does it seem like all the information that is needed is
still there, but just in the wrong place?
