 * I’m trying to re-install my website. I exported all content from site A and imported
   it to a url that I wasn’t using at the time using the wordpress import tool. 
   Everything seemed to transfer over fine except the comments. On the home page
   I can see an excerpt of the article, and the number of comments underneath. But
   when I go to click on the article, there are no comments underneath the article.
   
   In the comment dashboard I see the comments, there is no total number of “approved”
   comments, but they are all there in the dashboard..
 * Why is this happening, and what can i do to make it work?

 * You import from which platform? Do you still have the backup?

   is corroded and redundant… I still have the backups
