 * Hi,
 * I did a new installation of WP. I had a backup of an old database. I imported
   this database, but my old posts did not come back in my new WP installation.
 * How do I retrieve my old posts from this database?
 * Thanks a lot,
    Martin

 * Does the prefix on your tables match the $table_prefix set in wp-config.php?
