 * I recently moved my blog, and saved all the files on it before the move. I uploaded
   all of them, but that didn’t work for some reason, so I re-installed wordpress
   completely with the new version. It gave me a new password, and now everything
   is gone. I tried my old admin password, and it doesn’t work to bring the stuff
   back up.
 * What am I doing wrong here? Is there a fix? I do have all the old files…do I 
   need to replace some new ones with old ones or something?
 * Thanks!

 * WordPress has two components, the files, and the database that contains your 
   posts, links, comments, pages. Doesn’t sound like you have your database moved.
 * Please review [Moving WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress).

 * I followed that, checked after overwriting a couple things, and it worked well.
   Now I screwed up something by overwriting. Here is the error message.
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function: add_filter() in /homepages/2/d205584958/
   htdocs/wp-includes/default-filters.php on line 4
 * How do I fix this?
 * Thank you so much for your help.

 * I’d say your wordpress files are not complete/intact–try uploading them again
   or at a minimum reupload wp-includes/plugin.php (that file contains the add_filter
   function).
