    Can you supply a URL, we may/may not be able to see the site either.

    This is very strange. I transferred my WordPress tables to a new web host for a buyer and everything looks good on my end. I am able to login to wp-admin and there are no problems. The buyer however gets an error when he tries to login with the user/pass I gave him.

    So you can log in via the web and can see everything OK, but the client, logging in the same way can’t see the site at all – or can see the login pages/front page but can’t login?

    There are, I believe, changes to the databse in 3.1 so a backup/restore of post 3.1 database might be worthwhile, though as long as the customers site files and version are in step – that is both 2.9.1 I personally would update later.

    What exactly is the error that the buyer is getting?

    He can see the login page but it tells him that his user/pass is invalid. And when he submits the form to reset the password, it said his email did not exist.

    I was even able to login to the WordPress admin area on my Android smartphone so I am just baffled at how the buyer is having problems.

    At this point, I think I am just going to reinstall WP on his server and add the posts back manually. There aren’t very many and the site isn’t customized much.
