Hey thanks for quick replies guys.
Sorry Jibbius I'm not familiar with Wordpress so I didn't really know what title was appropriate for my post. He left on bad terms with the previous web developer as the guy had his site for 9 months with guaranteed first page ranking and he only ever got to rank 6. A week of two ago his site dropped completely off first page on every keyword, I logged into wp-admin and found that there was no tile descriptions or tags and then checked the coding and found this all in one SEO pack which had been removed when he stopped payong the previous guy and so lost his ranking as there is no titles tags etc now. So i went to reinstall it and found my problem.
Just some background info incase it helps
So you reckon try get in touch with previous guy he should have an admin account? Is there any other way?
