 * My previous version of wordpress (with contents & themes) totally crashed on 
   me and I reinstalled a newer version from scratch. I moved the old files into
   a different location before I installed the new version of wordpress.
    I also
   had to delete the old mysql database and created new ones coz the new installation
   had problems trying to link to it.
 * How do I restore my database (I couldn’t do a backup via wordpress because it
   crashed) from the old folders that I still have in my server? Comments are not
   critical, if I am not able to restore them, it’s ok.
    Also, is there anyway for
   me to restore my old themes settings via some shortcut method?
 * Thanks.
