Need URGENT Help! I have accidentally installed wordpress to my opencart website folder. Originally that folder contains my website that is built-with opencart system. I wanted to install wordpress to it's subdomain, but somehow i misread the domain's name and installed wordpress (and later overwrite) to it. How i restore back the original opencart-based website?

    Likely your wordpress installation has installed over some of your opencart files, I would contact your hosting support and see if you have a backup. Sometimes hosts can restore backup mirrors of your server to restore files.

    In case you still haven't found solution, this might be useful to you:

    See first where opencart stores images, and files you uploaded. That's probably not overwritten.

    1. If you had any plugins, addons for opencart - write it down.

    2. Download folder that contains uploaded files.

    3. Delete all from that folder

    4. Install opencart to new database

    5. Install all plugins again

    6. Upload all "uploaded files"

    7. Switch the database in config file

    That's it.

    The only file you are likely to have lost is an index.php file in the web root directory. If you install WordPress in another location, you will be able to make a list of the files that WordPress installs in the root and the subdirectories.

    Nearly all of the WordPress core files start with wp-
    So I would start by trying to upload the index.php file that comes in the opencart distribution and see if that fixes everything, you might be lucky.

    Likely opencart has it's own equivalent to wp-config.php that WordPress would not overwrite.

    Yes I too think only your index file is overwritten, so just replace it with the old and try to remove all wp- files and folders manually yourself. Your database is intact, only some standard files can be overwritten which you can replace without harm with fresh ones from opencart, unless you did some hard coded modification to opencart yourself.
