 * I am working to move a WP install from one website to another. I recently completed
   a WordPress site for [http://www.x.com](http://www.x.com). I wanted to move it
   to [http://www.a.com](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?](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](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.
