    I crashed my site. I was able to restore by creating a fresh install and connecting to the db which still existed, but have lost my plugins. I use all in one wp migration plug but the backup file is corrupted. The old site is no longer live, but the db exists and can be accessed with phpMyAdmin. I have the db dump. Can I import the plugins and settings from the live db? The db dump? Or some other way?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Your customized settings for those plugins that were present when the database was backed up would probably still be stored in the database, but you will need to manually replace the actual plugin files to restore functionality.
