The entire content of my WordPress page has disappeared

Thanks everyone for your suggestions – the page is now back up and running, but I am not certain why.

My theory is that I actually fixed it by deleting the .htaccess file which I removed from the root of /public_html and assumed would be recreated by WordPress.

It’s not been replaced in the /public_html folder, but without me noticing a .htaccess file was created in the /public_html/blog folder (where the blog is kept).

As I didn’t notice this at first I can’t be certain this was the solution, but it is my best guess.
