Moved WordPress Files without Exporting

    I am working to move a WP install from one website to another. I recently completed a WordPress site for http://www.x.com. I wanted to move it to http://www.a.com. I foolishly copied all files from public_html on x.com and uploaded them to a.com. I never export the WordPress theme file. I then deleted all files from x.com

    Is there anything I can do to get the WordPress theme properly functioning on a.com?

    Any help would be very appreciated.

    Are you having issues specifically with the theme, or the actual wordpress installation? Can you access the admin dashboard??

    I was able to reinstall the theme on the new site just fine. However, none of the pages I have created on the previous site are showing up.

    Do you have access to phpMyAdmin for http://www.x.com? if so, login to it, go to the database associated with wordpress and browse the wp_post table and check to see if your pages are in there.

    If so, try exporting that table and importing it into http://www.a.com’s database.

    Unforunately, this wont restore any images that you may have embedded into the pages because images are stored in wp-content/uploads and not the database.
