Content missing after importing website

  • After uploading my old WordPress website, the themes and plugins got imported but the content (test, images, etc.) not. The backup site had 5 folders: cache, cache-, plugins, themes, and uploads, along with the following files: index.php, package.json, wp-config.php, and database.sql. The uploads folder contains images.

    I placed the cache, cache-, plugins, themes, and uploads folders into wp-content under htdocs and imported the database.sql file into the MySQL database I created. Not sure what went wrong, but I can’t see anything in my WordPress dashboard, nothing in Pages nor in Media.

    Also, I noticed that even though I updated the database hostname, name, and username in the wp-config.php file, after uploading it to the htdocs folder, the changes were reversed, and it reverted to the original content instead of the updated version. What is wrong? What did I mess up?

    the changes were reversed

    That’s very strange if true. Have you confirmed this, or does it appear so by how your site appears? If you are going by site appearance, it may be cached content. Flush any caches involved, both client and server side.

    If you’ve confirmed that your DB related changes to wp-config.php have really been reversed, I recommend contacting your host to find out what’s going on.
