    Hi All

    Background:

    I changed hosting companies and I am moving some sites with WordPress on them. I exported the database using phpAdmin in a SQL format and a XML format.

    Problem:

    What I am trying to do is:

    a)Install WordPress on the new server (This works fine, give me my password etc)

    b)Then go to my phpMyAdmin and import the tables and data that I exported earlier into the new database. When I go back to my new WordPress installation and refresh it asks me to upgrade database and when I do my password given earlier does not work nor does it recognise my email to send me a new password.

    Basically I am trying to import the data from my old wordpress intallation using eith the xml or sql into my new setup.

    Thanks

    You are probably having an issue with the users table being imported from the other site, the wp-options table being imported from the other site, and your wp-config file having different hash salts than your old site.

    I would suggest using the WordPress export/import functionality or following the instructions here http://wp-relief.com/2010/07/05/moving-your-wordpress-site-to-a-new-server/

    If you need some more help or are running into any troubles with those steps, feel free to reply here.
