    Downloaded the new version on WP, have a database with my backup, and I cannot figure out how to restore everything. All my posts, pages, everything. I don’t care as much about the settings but I want my posts back!

    Hi @sallison727.

    Make sure you have a backup of the Uploads folder inside of wp-content as well.

    If you could check in the previous database if you had a custom prefix, will help you in one of the next steps.

    1. Do a fresh install of WordPress. (Use the custom prefix on the database if you had!)
    2. Now, drop all tables in the fresh database and replace it with the backup one
    3. Sync your Uploads folder also

    Now you should have your website back.
