I have imported my sql file into tools wordpress and importer and the old page dates are now there. The media reports failed to import but the photograph camera references are there and so I know which ones on my computer were used on the website. I have loaded Elegant themes Divi but cannot upload that backup for some reason. If I look at the divi backup files they seem to be all there XML File (.xml) 340Kb. Sample of the pages below:- In particular the first line says its a wp extended RSS file containing my web site but it does not mention how to restore it. Any help would be appreciated

I have a new installation of wordpress with my new hosts 123reg. I have a wordpress database manager backup from my old site. how do I upload this to my new site? Regards

Thank very much Steve, I know I did do some backups when I built my site two of which I have found so far :- WordPress data base backup SQL File 131 Kb and Divi Backup for wordpress XML Editor 490 Kb. If these are not of the right type can you give me the file type and extensions so that I can search my computer. Sorry to be a nuisance your help is appreciated

Thanks for the reply Tara, Cleared cache and cookies. Still getting HTTP 404 error.
I am using Digicloud.com for hosting and have had this reply from them regarding this issue. Doesn’t mean a lot to me however I will contact the Domain provider I used Instra Corporation Pty. Ltd.
Would appreciate any more help from you. Kind regards Tony

Hello there,

Thank you. I could now see the domain name is properly registered.

You will now need to contact your Domain name registrar (where you got your domain name from ) and have them update the name servers information

========================================================

ns101.digitalcloud.com
ns102.digitalcloud.com

========================================================

Afterward, you will need to allow for some time for the DNS setting to be propagate.

The process of propagation involves waiting for the cached copies of the DNS resolutions at the local DNS server to expire. When you type in a domain name, it’s resolved to an IP address through the DNS system, then there is a computer in your area that keeps a cache of that address to IP resolution. It sends any requests for that domain name to that IP until the cache expires, then it will resolve the IP again and give you the updated one. The whole process could takes up to 48 hours in extreme case.

Afterward, your domain name will be displaying correctly with your WordPress Site

You can reply back into the ticket if you have any further question.
