 * Thank you. I’ve been putting my responses to those questions in curly brakets,
   didn’t realize I had to replace those with quotes. I now have it installed, but
   I’m getting the following error when I try to browwse to the page
 * Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required
   by WordPress.
 * I have installed the php5-mysql package, and I have configured it for a MySQL
   remote access. So I don’t understand the problem. Can you help me here?
 * Thanks

 * I’ve explored some and found the followng
 * The thems is called twenty twelve
    there is a plugin called BackupBuddy
 * My guess, and it’s only a guess, is when the backupbuddy plugin was installed
   it removed the tools menu with the export capability.
 * The previous developer, again – not available, had a username and password on
   it so I can’t manage the licenses.
 * I have done a complete backup using it and downloaded that zip file, in doing
   a complete backup which includes settings, database, and files, downloaded successfully.
 * It seems to include such files as .htaccess, wp-admin.php, and more.
 * Since I’ve already installed the wordpress version 3.7.1, I don’t want this overwriting
   my existing installation.
 * So, should I have just backed up the database and the files, but not the settings?

 * I appreciate the info, but I’m a newbie to wordpress and php and don’t know how
   to create a menu item.
 * Further, my researches indicate the export function is part of the tools menu,
   which is supposed to be part of the default wordpress application. If so, the
   person who designed the system I’m taking over (and who cannot be reached) modified
   wordpress to not show the tools menu item.
 * So, my question is, how do I redisplay that option?
 * And remember, I’m a newbie, so saying I might write my own is not in play here.
 * Thanks,
 * Mark

 * So, changing the theme will reintroduce the tools menu item to the menu on the
   left? Which theme would you suggest?

 * I appreciate the info, but perhaps you can be a little more specific about what
   I should do/look for?
 * Thanks
