WordPress.org

   I've had wordpress issues during the past two weeks after my ftp client started deleting all my files instead of a single file in a very bad one time glitch. I've since tried reinstalling/upgrading wordpress and now seem to have a functional version 2.6 running but I can't see any of my old data via blogs and such, though it's in the database still. Does anyone know how to "connect" wordpress to the database? I thought it did that when I created the wp-config.php file.

   I've also exported an SQL file so if there's a way to import that into wordpress it'd help me as well. And I have some files in the WP-content directory which wouldn't delete when I removed the other WP files.

   I've tried searching for this answer but keep getting linked to connecting wordpress to an unpopulated database to start from scratch.

   Thanks.

   did you leave wp-config.php as it was?

   I created a new wp-config.php using the database name and password. I can only verify the fact that that info is the same. I don't remember doing any "secret keys" last time though. :(

   Thanks for responding greyisgood!

   I'm told my database is upgraded when using upgrade.php so I think so.
