Phishing!
Both w-f-t.co.uk and williamsfamilytree.co.uk have been the victims of a hack attack! Both sites were being used as fake banking sites. As if I don’t have enough to do without having to completely rebuild the sites.

Phew!
Just managed to recover from a major catastrophe! After attempting to update the software for the site everything stopped working! I had to make a complete new installation, get it working, and then replace all the old files with the new ones! Trouble is, I was following the instructions to the letter! Methinks I’ll play
