1. If you haven’t, create the MySQL database
2. Use phpMyAdmin and import the sql dump.
3. Upload 2.3.3 files and configure wp-config.php accordingly
4. Upload 2.3.3 ready theme/plugins
5. Browse to wp-admin/upgrade.php to ‘execute’ the upgrade.**
6. Update your permalink structure
**www.sample.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php or http://www.sample.com/wordpresssubfolder/wp-admin/upgrade.php (depends on where you put the wordpress files)
I’ve recently had to go through this same process.
I took a back up SQL dump, imported it, moved over all the original WordPress files, upgraded etc…
The original version was 2.2.2 and hosted with Yahoo.
My problem is that I don’t see any posts or archives from the old dump. They’re in the database, but WordPress isn’t displaying them.
I’ve tried changing multiple settings in the WordPress admin, but no luck.
Any suggestions?
FYI: wp-config.php is configured correctly.
I see recent comments, but nothing else.
Doing a search will bring up posts, but can’t click through to see them.
Permalinks settings are correct.
Have you tried deactivating ALL plugins and changing to the WordPress Default 1.6 theme?
Yup – a few times – no difference.
Here it is now:

That’s not the WordPress 1.6 Default theme.
I know. The default theme doesn’t make a difference. Same results.
Then I’d be tempted to do the database restore again and then do the update.php process (should happen automatically upon login).
You’ll need to DROP the existing tables before doing the import.
