 * bcworkz, thanks. I’ve noticed that using
    `$wpdb = new wpdb(...);` works only
   after adding `$wpdb->set_prefix('wp_');` on the next line.
 * Another problem is that functions like `the_permalink()` and `the_excerpt()` 
   still return the old path even after the connection has been swapped.
 * Any ideas?

 * Hmm, this may not be possible, since it requires redefining constants like DB_NAME.

 * The solution in this case was not to replace the theme (which I kept) but to 
   switch the provider from Yahoo! to SiteGround.
 * Yahoo! has legacy systems and strange configurations, and I don’t recommend it
   to anyone.

 * Good advice, it works with Plain permalinks, and I just looked at my theme (which
   I like), and it was last updated on ‎January‎ ‎28‎, ‎2011. So, I may have to 
   get a new theme. Thanks!

 * OK, got it… getting acquainted with query_posts(). Could have saved myself some
   time with it rather than hacking my way through.

 * Chrisber, that would mean duplicating content which is something best avoided.
