Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Database Confusion – WP seems to be in 2 DBs, how to fix/merge?Thanks, I will look into this – even though I’d rather clean up the mess I have inadvertently created.
BTW, what I described above didn’t work. I tried to export DB2 which worked fine but I always got errors when I tried to import it back into DB1.

In reply to: Database Confusion – WP seems to be in 2 DBs, how to fix/merge?Well, the problem is that I want to install a second WP and I only have those two databases. Wouldn’t one overwrite the other?

In reply to: Database Confusion – WP seems to be in 2 DBs, how to fix/merge?OK, I just tried that, and if I point wp-config.php to DB1 and I try to open the site, it is just a blank page, nothing there (View Source is blank too). Theoretically I could just delete everything from DB1 then, it seems like it is just the table structure?
But then, how do I fix the control panel of my host because there it says I have WordPress running on DB1?Theoretically, there are two ways to fix it:
a- change the host to realize that WP is running on DB2
b- actually move all my WP stuff to DB1I don’t know how to do either of those. a is a problem because I just have a cheap host and I am not sure I get much out of their service. For b I have high hopes that someone can tell me how to move my stuff. Could I just go into the phpMyAdmin, export the whole she-bang from DB2, then import it into DB1?
