    Hi @all,

    one of my clients got these data as a result of the job to develop a wordpress site for them from their web-agency:

    database.sql
    index.htm
    index.php
    installer-backup.php
    license.txt
    readme.html
    wp-activate.php
    wp-admin
    wp-blog-header.php
    wp-comments-post.php
    wp-config.php
    wp-content
    wp-cron.php
    wp-includes
    wp-links-opml.php
    wp-load.php
    wp-login.php
    wp-mail.php
    wp-settings.php
    wp-signup.php
    wp-trackback.php
    xmlrpc.php

    My client stopped the job and now want me to finish the site. But i don’t know how.

    Normally, when i develop wordpress for my clients i install it directly in the webspace, not on my desktop. So i don’t know, if these data is good to use for an installation and how do i have to do this? Would anybody help me, please?

    Those are not data, they are WP core files.

    Try checking on the wp-content folder, you should see theme and plugin and upload files (I suppose they are all images at this point).

    My client stopped the job and now want me to finish the site. But i don’t know how.

    So the job here is to further the development of this site, first we need to install it in your local dev (it could be in your local machine or a live dev site).

    To install WP, we do not need to copy over those files, we can just download a fresh copy, this way we can be sure we get all the WP core files.

    Then ask for the database (sql file) and import it. There are many articles on how to do this all over, just search for it.

    Thanks for your reply. I ‘ve already installed an new blank WordPress-Site on the clients webspace.

    The data i ‘ve got seems to be all the stuff you get when installing WP. Inclusive the theme and plugins and so on. The Folder seems to be duplicated, then made a zip file of the complete WordPress installation without any database files.

    So i can’t upload it into my WP Installation.

    Depending on how much had been done, we might not need that database if the work prior are just demo content. If this is the case we can continue the project by getting the theme from wp-content/themes/theme-name folder and see what custom design is there. At least we should have the logo.
