You will need to change your database tables probably. Check out https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress

Thanks, I have been looking at that, would wordpress automatically create an SQL database?

It wouldn’t matter whether or WordPress creates a database table. You would need to transfer your old database table over to your new server. How did you transfer your website? Through a plugin, or manually?

All I did was copy all the content to the new server. Is there a plugin you could recommend? Would I be better restarting?

wp_commentmeta: Table ‘_blog_www_helenaclayton_co_uk.wp_commentmeta’ doesn’t exist
You should probably check the correct prefix for the tables in your database. Once you know the correct prefix, open wp-config.php and update this variable $table_prefix.
Let me know if that helps. 🙂

hi, where would i find (‘DB_NAME’, ‘database-name’);
It should be in wp-config.php as well. If you can access your cpanel you should be able to find that file if you go to the file manager.
