I did the ftp plugin folder name change and can get in, but when I change it back I get booted from the site on a page refresh so that will not work.

Can anyone tell me what I missed in the export/import, when I look at the wp_users table in php myadmin I don’t even see roles.

thanks

SQL query:

—
— Table structure for table wp_6dye9t_users

CREATE TABLE wp_6dye9t_users (

Is there an easy way for me to fix this so I can restore the website? The restoring your database page suggesting posting here if I get an error.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks.

I had to reinstall one of my sites, i took a manaul back up of the database with PHPMyAdmin but this is where i’m stuck.

I know how to restore the database but my database is split with 2 installs of wordpress on the one database – each site having it’s own table preix in the config file. If i restore will it blank or affect the other site? Or will it just restore what’s missing?

Looking at the backup file it seems to only have one of tables in it (I’m guessing because i can only see one of the table prefixes mentiuoned throughout)

I’m concerned that If I restore the databse I will be left with just that content and the second site and the split database will be erased.

Any advice would be appreciated

thanks

The current tutorial on this site is for the old version. I’ve been delaying upgrading my wordpress version for about a year, waiting for someone to make a decent tutorial for the new one.

Thanks.

After upgrade to 2.6 all my categories were missing. So I figured another upgrade to 2.6.1 would fix it. Dummy me.

Then I found the fix here.

I hesitated for a day b/c I detest going into PHPMyAdmin — it’s a real danger zone for those [like me] who don’t really know what they are doing.

But, I followed the directions exactly and it worked – Great!

I happily begin tweaking away at my blog. Then get an email noting a comment needs approval.

All comments are missing from my blog!

So, back to WP Forums for the answer and it was covered here – albeit for WP 2.5.

All the comments on that WP forum post praised the directions to get the wp-comment section working smoothly. So I followed the instructions and went back into PHPMyAdmin.

Here are the instructions from eexlebots:

I had this same exact problem and jmfolcik’s solutions worked for me; from phpmyadmin I selected the database, then selected the wp_comments table and viewed it in “Structure” mode.

Once there I selected the “comments_date_gmt” field and checked the “index” option. Once I did that and it reported a success I checked my WordPress site and comments were back with no errors!

What happened is I now only have the latest comments [2] -the ones that were awaiting approval. All comments from years past are gone.

I’m hoping someone here can help me get my full database of comments restored.

THANK YOU !
Linda

PS — If it involves using a backup can I just import the Comments and not the entire blog? I would hate to overwrite my Categories again.

PPS — And if you can post step-by-step directions I will be grateful!

(1) Is there a better tool than PHP-MyAdmin? This is what my host provides, web-based, and it is the only way I have ever “seen” my WP database. I know almost nothing about databases. I have heard that I should use a desktop MySQL editor, to make Search-Replace easier. Is there a desktop program for this, how about a free one?

(2) Any tips for how to do a search-and-replace? I want this to apply to pretty-much the whole WP database, not just the post content. The database isn’t huge, it’s pretty much the default freshly installed WP. I realize search-replace can have false positives so I want to approve, next, approve, next, and so on.

(3) Is it easy to change the table-prefix (from wp_ to wp2_, for example) and copy-paste the modified database as a new table (new blog)?
