thanks for your quick reply.
I have manually restored the WordPress site using FTP and following the instructions of

For my understanding:
I don’t have to install a new WP version prior to uploading all files?? I don’t want to reinstall all plugins since it`s so time consuming.
Many thanks for your help.

]]>created new database using same database name prior to restoration
created new MySQL user and added to database
updated database username and database password in wp-config.php
/** MySQL hostname */
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);
imported .sql database file from back up
changed table prefix for safety reasons in wp-config.php and .sql database back up
uploaded edited wp-config.php
Maybe WP doesn’t find the path to database?

if wp-config.php exists | yes
database connection details:
wp-config.php: database name, username, password are | matches
Check wp_options table
Values of the siteurl and home
For my understanding:
Where does WP store database file?
What tables are in the database?
