   Hi

   I have recently moved my blog from wp.com to wp.org

   My webhost is justhost.com

   Website is http://www.thehiphopchipshop.com

   I have pointed the name servers at just host, imported the previous wp.com site and now want to upload the Organic Themes 'structure' theme.

   I have unzipped and put this in the wp themse tab - but when i go to install it - it says there is an error with the database.

   I found the wp-config.php file and copy and pasted the below into it:
   define('WP_ALLOW_REPAIR', true);

   Now it says there is issues with the following:

   wp_users:
   wp_usermeta:
   wp_posts:
   wp_comments:
   wp_links:
   wp_options:
   wp_postmeta:
   wp_terms:
   wp_term_taxonomy:
   wp_term_relationships:
   wp_commentmeta:

   My site is going through to a duff page saying: Error establishing a database connection

   Please can somebody shed any light on the issue?

   Did you export your database at the old host and import it at justhost?

   If so, did you change the database server URL, username and password to match the values at justhost?

   It's working now. thanks. I just reuploaded it and it seems fine.

   Now i need to learn how to customise it like it used to look!

   Not an easy task considering i actually have no knowledge about CSS.
