I’ve been trying since late last week to get her site back up and running on my new hosting package.
I install WP in a subdirectory, created a new database using cpanel and created a user and password for it, as the instructions I was using said.
I unzipped all 103 folders and found the database file and tried uploading it to the hosting package, but it keeps giving an error message “DROP TABLE wb_video_VY”. according to PHPmyadmin, there are no tables in the database.
I unzipped the other backup and I can’t find a .sql file in it at all.
is there a way around all this? can I set up a new install and just pull all the old files into it?
thanks in advance for any help. ]]>
thank you for your very useful plugin.
I have been experimenting with your plugin taking backups from my multi-site production site and restoring them to my development server.
I have successfully moved both a complete multi-site install and separately one sub domain site to a single wordpress installation.
I first run 2 find and replace to fix the domain name and the media path in the backup sql.
In one of the experiments, I imported a single site backup into a default wordpress single site install but had the import fail because the tables already existed.
I had to manually delete the tables that were the same names as those in the backup sql. Not all wordpress tables were in the backup sql, so this adds to the complexity of a restore, particularly for a restore of a single site to the multi-site production server.
If the CREATE TABLE command were proceeded by the DROP TABLE IF EXISTS command, the import should run without error no matter whether the tables exist or not, and would be much more convenient.
Perhaps I am missing something, but it seems to me that the backups would be much more user friendly to restore if they had this feature.

I’ll make a loooong story short…
I deleted the form fields on my Checkout page (E-Commerce plugin) because I thought if I deactivated and reactivated the plugin, they’d come back working properly. Clearly, that was a fail. After searching around the forums, I decided to try the solution of dropping the wp_wpsc_checkout_forms table from my database. Seemed easy enough. I log into my Godaddy database and…the table is nowhere to be found! Am I missing something???? Moving on…
After deactivating and reactivating the E-Commerce plugin, my Checkout and Your Account pages are now altogether gone when I visit the site. They show during a Preview but nothing when I view it live. When I click Checkout/Your Account, it takes me back to the Home page. I checked to make sure that they weren’t deleted somehow but on my “Pages” page, both of them are listed. What the what????
So, my questions are: how can I reset the Checkout form field to default / where is the table in my Godaddy database???? And then, where are my Checkout & Your Account pages?!!!! Again, thank you in advance! I’m already behind schedule with my client 
...other functions and things...
function POD_deactivate()
{
global $wpdb; //required global declaration of WP variable
$table_name = $wpdb->prefix.POD_table_name;
$sql = "DROP TABLE ". $table_name;
$wpdb->query($sql);
}
register_activation_hook(__FILE__,'POD_install');
register_deactivation_hook(__('POD') , 'POD_deactivate' );
?>if ($wpdb->query(" DROP TABLE$table_name` “)) {
$message.=’
‘;
} else {
$message.=’
‘;
}`
The script IS correctly dropping the table; but show the incorrect message (‘problem while dropping table….’), do you know why ?
Also, is it possible to make a request to directly disable the plugin from my plugin page ?
