Access old pages

Does the old site’s database still exist?

Yes, but it may be corrupted, I’m not sure.

Can you still login to the old site and use Tools -> Export?

No, I only have file manager access.

Unless you know a different way than just logging in with wp-admin

Since you cannot login to the old site, the only other option – under normal circumstances – would be to move the database from the old site to the new one. But as you say that the old database was damaged, I would strongly advise against that.

Is there a way to create a temporary url to access this sub-directory?

No – sorry.

I had heard that a temp url could be created using the sites /IP-ADDRESS but I do not now how to find the ip-address

Oh – sorry! I misunderstood you. Try contacting whoever is hosting the old site and see if they can arrange a temporary url that you can use first.

Thanks a lot esmi, I will contact them now.

When you have that temp url, post back here and we can talk you through a site url change.

Well, I finally have access. Not complete but enough to finish the rebuild. I am already half way through with the rebuild so I am on the downhill side. Thanks again for your wonderful help! Joe

Excellent news! Glad I could help ??
