So I have a client that had an old wordpress with tons of content and users. The site is gone and done for, by we have a back up of the database (sql file)
All I need are the posts and users, how do I integrate this into a new wordpress site?
[resolved] Old Site Content to New Site (3 posts)

If I were you, I would set up a site on my local machine, just a test site and set it up using her database. I would then export the post as an xml file and then import those in her new site.
That will take care of the posts.
For the users, if there's only 2 or 3, I would simply just recreate them manually. It there are lots, you can open up the sql, find the wp_users table, copy the insert statements and just run that in your new database. You just have to make sure that you the userID are duplicates.

Posted 5 months ago #Thanks, worked perfectly for the posts. We decided not to worry about the users, those will be set up later if need be.
