# Migrate WP Posts & Pages using PhpMyAdmin

 * Hi there!
 * I want to migrate all posts, pages and media from an old broken WP installation
   to a new one, and I can’t access wp-admin, so I thought of doing it with PhpMyAdmin
   and FTP.
 * You may or may not want to read WHY I want to do this, so here it goes:
 * **[— BEGIN EXPLANATION ON HOW I MESSED UP —]**
 * I broke my wordpress installation some days ago, becoming unable to login via
   wp-admin or wp-login.
 * I broke it while changing siteurl and home without the “www.”, because I read
   on WPBeginner that it’d help me fix the “too many redirects” issue I was getting
   on my customizer. It didn’t, and the next day, when I wanted to login to wp-admin,
   the page redirected to itself.
 * I read it was a common issue as well, so I tried to fix it, and then I got another
   error, “cookies not accepted”. I tried to fix that one as well… And so it went…
 * Long story short, I made a db backup and a ftp backup of wp-content, includes&
   admin, and the loose files on the root folder of the WP installation, and so 
   far, I couldn’t get to fix what got broken.
 * As a temporary measure, I’ve created a similar webpage so people would land on
   our original links, and get redirected to a subdomain (aduba.org.ar/aduba/) from
   anywhere, by making a redirect modification on index.php that somehow (don’t 
   ask me how) spread to the whole aduba.org.ar/(anything that’s not /aduba/).
 * **[— END EXPLANATION ON HOW I MESSED UP —]**
 * So, now the mess is temporarily covered, but I need the whole page and its posts,
   pages, media, and hopefully, plugins information, such as form entries.
 * I don’t know how much of it will be possible to recover. But if it’s all posssible,
   may it be welcome!
 * Even on a new installation of wordpress, if I make a new db and make the installation
   point to it, it’ll automatically get broken, so I thought of getting rid of that
   information, while keeping posts and stuff.
 * I couldn’t find so far a tutorial on how to do this, because people migrate their
   webs with easier automated tools. And now I find myself in a hurry, because the
   website owners are getting angry at my lack of real solutions…
 * So… Could anyone help me? Even if it’s just a link to a long article on how to
   do this, or the right youtube tutorial, anything’s good at this point

 * Hey Lulo, did you find an answer to this problem. Need to migrate just the posts,
   categories and menus selectively. If you have found a solution please let me 
   know.
