New hosting site not looking like old hosting site

    Hello,
    I am not real familiar with html or wordpress.

    I am not sure how to connect all of the different items that are on the old hosting site. The old site has issues and is not current on all of the updates for all of the plug-ins and wordpress.

    I did get the html of what the current site looks like.

    I was wondering if there is a way to take the html from the old hosting site and paste into the new hosting site.

    If not, is there a way to know how to go through the html to correctly add and replace all of the items that are in the current website?

    Thanks for your help in advance.

  • Uninstall the wordpress you just installed… I thought you copied the SQL already… now follow these steps

    In the old website.. log in to your “PHPMYADMIN”.. and select your WORDPRESS DATABASE from left side…

    follow these images:-

    you’ll download an SQL file… see where you are downloading it and what’s it’s name.
    Now.. log into your new webshot aand go to phpmyadmin of new webhost and click on IMPORT and follow these steps..

    Now… install the wordpress providing the same database name and pass… and in the wordpress setup… please update the new URL too…. you can change it later via settings too…

    you should be good to go…

    Ok … I did exactly as you stated.

    The plugins that are on the original are not on the new.
    The theme that is being used on the original is not on the new.

    The media is not there as well.

    I know I will have to copy some of the folders over using the FTP, but I am not sure of all of them that I need.

    Thanks again for all of your help in advance.

    yep.. you have to copy each and every file from old webhost to new webhost ….. when you do… You’ll see your content back ^_^

    All folders? Not just the content folder?

    I copied all of the folders into the new hosting site that were under the wp-content folder.
    They are as follows:

    • flagallery
    • gallery
    • plugins
    • themes
    • uploads

      • In doing this, the dashboard is not broken. I am not able to see anything on the right side of the menu when I click on the different items.

      What would cause this?

      Thanks for your help in advance.

    Never mind.

    It seems to be completely up and running. I am not sure how it was originally set up, but everything is there and I can work with it.

    Thanks again for all of your help!!
