    Hello all, I have problem migrating my website to a new server host. Any help is appreciated.

    Problem: I used to host on 000webhost but due to their frequently down servers, I migrated to hostinger. Now, I can only see a default WordPress site and not a site with my posts.
    I did the following while migration:
    1. Backed up the public_html folder from 000webhost using FileZilla. (All successful transfers)
    2. Exported the database. (Export gave me a text of SQL and so, I manually saved this SQL into a file with .sql extension)
    3. Deleted the content and the 000webhost account.
    4. Changed nameservers (in 1and1) to the hostinger’s nameservers.
    5. Created a database in Hostinger. “Import” gave me some errors and so, I manually copy-pasted the SQL into PHPMyAdmin and queries were successful.
    5. Using FileZilla, I uploaded the public_html content properly. MODIFIED the wp-config.php’s database name,user and password to the newly created one in Hostinger.

    When I opened my site: https://srikarakrishna.com/ I got the WordPress installation screen (select your language and so on) and after the installation, a default WordPress site appeared. I can’t seem to find out what’s going wrong. Please help me with this issue.
