    I have the latest version on all softwares. Here’s a screenshot

 * Hello,
    I have followed every step. Everything has been uploaded, the database
   imported, etc. But I can’t see my website, it looks like just a new wordpress
   setup. Please advise. Thanks

 * It looks just like a new WordPress setup.
    If I go to the admin area I can see
   all the plugins and themes on my old website, but there are no posts, products,
   etc. So there’s no information.
 * The old website looked like this:
 * [http://pizzacocoyoc.com/](http://pizzacocoyoc.com/)
 * New website after uploading and restoring database, etc. looks like this:

    Were not imported.

 * Could you show the wp_posts tables ?
