OK.

Called support and figured out how to upload the backup file. Did that successfully. I can now browse through the tables and all the information seems to be there.

However, the admin panel still says there are no posts and no pages, even though I can find them in the database table. I have no idea how this should all be structured, but obviously WP is finding the database, but no post data.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Samboli,

Thanks. I did not know about permalinks and have now reset them.

I’ve read the instructions in the Codex (although not a techie, I am not one to post support questions without doing research first).

Here’s my problem. From the Codex:

1. Login to phpMyAdmin.
2. Click databases, and select the database that you will be importing your data into.
3. You will then see either a list of tables already inside that database or a screen that says no tables exist. This depends on your setup.
4. Across the top of the screen will be a row of tabs. Click the Import tab.
5. On the next screen will be a Location of Text File box, and next to that a button named Browse.
6. Click Browse. Locate the backup file stored on your computer.
7. Make sure the SQL radio button is checked.
8. Click the Go button.

There is no Import tab. There’s an Export tab, but no Import–not anywhere in the interface that I can find. This is PHPMyAdmin 2.7.0. Is there any reason why that might be the case?

Thanks again.
