 * Hello all,
 * I recently had to put down the website because of a virus.
 * I’m trying to restore an old version of our web stored in Mamp, keeping the database(
   it should be clean from any virus).
 * I moved the root folder by FTP on my server and connected the database.
    I can’t
   open any picture, thy seems to be corrupt . Does someone know how to help me?
 * I’m not a big expert of WordPress
 * thanks a lot!!!
