In reply to: Punctuation not showing properlyThis might be a very round-about way of doing things, but…
…when I imported the tables, I did so to a different database. I reinstalled WP, made sure it worked okay, then uploaded the tables from my backup but to a different DB and pointed everything to it. In other words, the original data was still there. So I changed the language and exported it again, then re-imported it to the new DB.
So far, this appears to have worked. A very long process, but one that keeps everything in its original state, just in case the worse should happen.Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Moving my blogs location and databaseAha! I appear to back where I started – with a fully functional blog and database. And believe it or not, that is exactly what I wanted.
Thanks Moshu, your analysis was correct, and I now know to to install the same version of WP at the new location before moving eveything to it! I have learned my lesson!
Many thanks.

In reply to: Moving my blogs location and databaseAnd if the versions are not? I also took this “opportunity” to upgrade to 1.5.2 from an older version (around May 2005 time).
I’ll try re-installing the older version and doing what I did before. Thanks Moshu.
