After some pretty significant issues related to rss, the location of the blog, and then complete disaster, I had to create a new blog on Yahoo. Basically, just created new blog, got WP up and running, and simply tried to place the backup WP-Content folder into the newly created blog. Old blog is deleted, new blog shows, but none of the content is showing. The site is http://www.thefreshride.com. Can anyone help? I'm guessing this is an easy fix? Thanks in advance!
Move old WP-Content from old to new Yahoo Blog (5 posts)

you have to import the post too (you did not mention that you have done this steps, so I am curious). You can import posts using the steps mentioned here:

Posted 3 years ago #Thank you for the tip. Boy that sure would have been the easy way to go before I had deleted the old blog, huh? I din't (big DUH) know that you could simply export the files into this format. So the question is, do these files exist somewhere in my contect folder that I can access in phpmyadmin somehow? Please let me know. Thanks!

WordPress posts, pages, categories, etc are kept in your MySQL Database. phpMyAdmin allows you to manage your database. Posts, pages, etc are NOT kept in your wp-content folder. The wp-content folder typically contains your themes (php scripts), your plugins (php scripts), uploads (like images in posts), and backups (say from a backup plugin).
