I ATTEMPT TO DESISTATE ONE OF THE DRUPAL DATA BASES BUT NOT POSSIBLE

Error 403: no se encuentra una página index en el directorio
Failed to reset cache for the instance #486
Failed to reset cache for the instance #720

I am faced with a distinct problem with my server and have not found anyone with this same problem online. Could any of you have insights on what to do?

Here’s what happened:
1-I uploaded my entire WordPress website built on XAMPP (everything: content/database) to my host server (Astutium) manually through FTP using the steps listed here.

The site that I uploaded to my server is multilingual (using WPML.Org plugins), uses the Spacious Pro theme (that I customized), uses Beaver Builder plugin and has a blog.

2-Once all steps for a successful transfer from localhost to live server were completed, my database duplicated itself and generated empty duplicate tables with all CAP prefixes.

3-From that point, I was unable to access any of my content and I was left with a “empty shell” of a website (i.e. logged into WordPress Admin and only had plugins: there were no pages or posts. All content was missing).

4-I reached out to my host and they told me to provide them with the raw SQL data (from XAMPP database) in order for them to delete all the incorrect tables and “correctly conduct an import/merge”.

5-I provided my host with the raw SQL data and they deleted the empty database tables. However, after the removal of the duplicated tables, I still have no content on ANY of my pages. My host told me that my database content has been fixed but all I now see are page URLs with pages that have no content.
I then checked all my plugins to verify if they were all activated (they are) but I still have no content.

My questions to you are:

A-Do you know why the database tables duplicated during my transfer and generated all Cap prefix tables with empty content? My host was unable to explain this and it is very frustrating.

B-Do you have any insights how to get my pages/posts to show content ? What could be the problem?

Any insights to this problem are very appreciated.

Thank you

I have been using DB Manager for years, great plugin! Went through the forum but cannot find a similar thread, sorry if it is a silly or newbie question…

A couple of months ago I needed to restore the DB after a mistake (:)). Everything went perfectly well. However now I am doing a cleaning up and I notice now that all my databases have been duplicated with the prefix wp_nxivxq. They are marked as orphaned by clean up systems.
Is it a normal process of DB Manager when restoring do duplicate all databases and may I delete all these wp_nxivxq database, as they make my website quite sluggish?

Thanks in advance for your help, and again, great plugin!

I m wondering what the easiest way to duplicate a site would be? Let’s say I have a site at www.mysite.com and would like to run the same site at www.mysite.com/test. I want both to run simultaneously and they can have independent databases but I want to duplicate to have the same category and post ID’s. I’m running some A/B tests of themes which is why I need duplicate sites running and my theme is dependent on category ID’s.

I’m fine working with queries and changing tables in MySQL but am not sure which commands to use when exporting tables. Thanks!

I’d like to test a few sites on my local Apache installation. I already have the site, let’s say the database is called ‘WordPress’. I’d like to duplicate it using PhpMyAdmin or something some it’s called ‘WordPressWIP’ or something but have the database otherwise intact. Then theoretically I’d just copy the site and tweak the config, right?

So, how do I copy a database using PhpMyAdmin? I’m not very good with SQL queries. Thanks!

I am running WP on my own server, and I have to admit that I am quite inexperienced when it comes to databases. I installed the WordPress through my host with what they call “clickStart”-applications and I had a few problems with it. I don’t really remember anymore what it was but I had to go through a couple of install/uninstall processes.
My webspace provides me with 2 databases, lets call them DB1 and 2 (doh, sorry). I thought it would be nice to install a second unrelated WP into the second database.
On my web space, my host claims that WordPress is installed in DB1.

Now, I looked at the two DBs through phpMyAdmin, and I see the following:

DB1:
wp_comments
wp_links
wp_options
wp_postmeta
wp_posts
wp_terms
wp_term_relationships
wp_term_taxonomy
wp_usermeta
wp_users

DB2:
wp_comments
wp_links
wp_options
wp_postmeta
wp_posts
wp_statpress
wp_TABLE_STATISTICS
wp_TABLE_STATISTICS_RAW
wp_terms
wp_term_relationships
wp_term_taxonomy
wp_usermeta
wp_users

I clicked on wp_posts and for DB1, I see that the Last Update is the same date as Creation – I am pretty sure that means that this is NOT the one I am actively using, even though my host says it is.
Looking at the same in DB2, it shows the date I actually posted last.

I am pretty sure if I install another instance for WP, I am messing this up. Now, what can I do? How can I fix this? I guess since my host says I am on DB1, I should take the DB2 content and move it to DB1? Or should I better backup DB2, delete everything in both databases, start from scratch and import my content back in?

Please advise
