    I am working on local host. After trying to use WP Clone plugin I had a series of issues both on local host and on live server when WP Clone crashed.

    I have some pages on my site I want to try to retrieve using the local host version from files left behind from WP clone.

    The main problem will be to restore the database (I am using XAMPP, mysql and php myadmin.

    What I have is some files left from April when all this happened.

    I do have under xampp/mysql/data/domain.com(db name)
    23/04/2014 11:08 a.m. 8,688 wp_commentmeta.frm

    Unless you modified the core files, just upload new copies from a fresh download at https://wordpress.org/download/

    As for the database, if you have a backup of it, restoring it should be simple: http://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup

    Thanks James.

    What I don’t have is a zip backup of the database. I am ok with setting up a new wordpress site which I have done many times both online and on local host.

    What I am not so sure of is what the files I mentioned represent. If I zipped the files above would they feed into the database using the “Restoring Your Database from Backup” instructions”?

    The files above are definitely named after database tables, but I’ve never seen that format before.

    Everything I know of refers to just restoring a MySQL database backup, which that doesn’t appear to be.

    I think the file list above may have been created by WPClone, which stopped half way through and I couldn’t restore the site on localhost. I might try zipping the folders and see what happens unless anyone has any better ideas.

    Thanks for the input.

    If that doesn’t work, head on over to http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-clone-by-wp-academy where you can get some help from the plugin’s developers and support community. 🙂

    Thanks…I left a message there over a week ago without a single response! Maybe I need a sexier title.

    Anyway, I will mark this as resolved and will need to try some other approaches. Thanks anyway.

    They appear to have a support email address at http://www.wpacademy.com/contact/ maybe try that instead.
