[resolved] How to connect a new installation to saved database content? (2 posts)

    Help!

    Long story short, an upgrade went terribly wrong, and I ended up reverting to 2.5, dropping my database tables, and having to install WordPress from scratch. (Yes, I know it was a stupid thing to do.)

    I've got a backup of my database which I imported, but after the new install, WordPress doesn't "see" the data in the tables. The data's there. I can see all my posts and other data in the rebuilt tables using phpMyAdmin, but WordPress is acting like a brand new blog with no posts.

    I'd appreciate any words of wisdom here.

    Never mind. Fixed it. Discovered my database backup had renamed all my WP tables as "wp_wqsln1_name" instead of just "wp_name". Renamed them so as to delete the "wqsln1" and everything's working now. Whew.
