Restoring Deleted Websites (Multisite) of Unknown WordPress Version
-
Alright, to make a long story short, website was deleted. Automatic backup failed-aka didn’t make the backup. So I scrounge up different files I have backed up in the past when making big changes.
So I’m trying to get the multisite back up and fix up the damage.
We tried uploading the .sql file I have and uploading the files,
I get database error. Passcodes and all seem correct.So question is either A. how to figure out what version of wordpress the SQL file used (for I’m suspecting it is older then the files surrounding it). Or other causes for the database connection error?
Or B. how to restore the websites through a fresh install. Transferring bits of files needed, redowning themes and plugins as needed, and transferring bits of old SQL file to new.
Warning: I’m a bit of a noob. I’m used to html coding and found it very frustrating that just uploading didn’t do the trick.
Thanks,
Anne Hijme
