cyaxrex Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 You need to make a backup before you alter anything. To be honest, you should just apologize to your buyer and cancel this order. This could take you buyer a lot of time, work, and stress to put right. Personally, I can’t see them being able to trust you going forward.

ntworld Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 The Only mistake you did, was that you don’t do back for the site when you know you want to install wordpress on subdomain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacquo Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 First, check on CPanel if your client has a scheduled backup of the site.If there isn’t any you have still some chance to fix the damage.If you replaced only the php files of the WordPress directory, you have lost only the theme and the site settings (wp-config.php). You should still have the database that contains the actual data of the site. It could also be that the wp-content/uploads directory (with its content) is still there.

My suggestion is to download the database, the whole site directory as it is and then investigate locally using xampp. You will need to take a look to the database with phpmyadmin to find out what was the theme and the plugins in use and so on.
