    I’m currently moving my blog to a new host and I made a backup of my db using the one click db backup but when I try to use it I just get the default install . I have also tried to install the db thu phpmyadmin but when I do it that way I end up with a white screen for my wordpress page . Anybody here got any ideas on what I can do ? Thanks for the help

  • On the new host, all the config info is correct ?
    What is happening to the blog ?
    Link ?

    http://www.juliefilms.com/index.php It’s blank, just like if the db connection isn’t working, right? Config info seems to be correct on the new host.

    Change the theme.

    Whatever theme you have, choose Default.

    It’s on default. Totally base install, except for the backup plugin is installed.

    <?php
    // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘thrtwoth_wp’); // The name of the database
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘thrtwoth_julie’); // Your MySQL username
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘XXXXX’); // …and password
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

    // Change the prefix if you want to have multiple blogs in a single database.
    $table_prefix = ‘jules_’; // example: ‘wp_’ or ‘b2’ or ‘mylogin_’

    // Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
    // chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
    // For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’
    // to enable German language support.
    define (‘WPLANG’, ”);

    /* Stop editing */

    define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
    require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);
    ?>

    Any ideas?

    I am pretty sure it’s a theme error.
    Download this theme:
    http://www.geeksmakemehot.com/daisyraegemini.zip
    Unzip, upload, activate.

    Also, using your ftp client, look through your install and make sure you have no files with a size of zero.

    Podz, you are a genius!

    I didn’t realize that the theme would be dependent on information in the database… as soon as I logged in, it corrected itself.

    I cannot thank you enough!

    Glad it’s sorted 🙂
