The red mark in the after shows that the very edge of my screen.

Every page and the post pages are all affected. The only pages that are not affected are the ones I created in Elementor.

Thanks Songdogtech, I tried everything I could but to no avail. What I did was that I migrated to another hosting service but looks as if the database as well as some vital files were corrupted.

Therefore I asked for the services of the technical team of the new hosting and they did a fantastic job. They succeeded to remove all the malwares installed, redirect scripts which are difficult to locate and injected codes to the plugins.

Now I am happy because my sites are now functioning as before. I think I will think twice in future before I take up any offer of unlimited hosting even if it is from a friend. I wrote a post about this at The Dangers Of Free Web Hosting with the intention that maybe it might help others not to make the same mistakes I made by getting a free hosting through a friend.

Thank you all for your help. I really appreciate it.

Thanks Kionae and Samuel B. I finally succeeded to retrieve my posts. Thanks for your support.

This is what I did:
1. Opened up the sql file in wordpad

2. I then used the Edit –> Replace function which replaced the new url with the old one

3. Imported the sql file into pühpmyadmin. This created a database on my localhost with the same name and data.

4. Launched wordpress from my localhost and then

5. In the admin panel Tools –> Export –> All contents in xml format.
Now this is where I met with problem again. As I wanted to import the generated xml file into my new server, I got error that the limit is 2M and the xml is 2.1M. Is there a way round this?

I decided to export and import by categories which was time consuming but I made a few then I got tired doing this and wanted to know if there is an easier method.

Yes I first created a database on my xampp and then imported the database back up. When I installed the new wordpress the posts urls were displayed but on clicking them they directed me to the former url and displayed the error message.

Thanks Samuel for your reply. I configured the localhost wp-config.php exactly as the one on the hosting. The same Database name, the same user and password.

Thanks Ipstenu. I have just done exactly what you told me and it worked

Thanks Samboll for your help. After trying all sorts of tricks, I think I’ve found the solution. I copied the provided .htaccess from the wordpress administrator panel and uploaded it onto the server. It seems to be working but I am not sure for how long since I have not written any new post yet.

Thanks Samboll, I reset the permalinks to default and it worked. I could access the posts. The problem I have now is how to change the permalinks to the original extensions. How can I return it to the custom structure “/%postname%.html”? because the original posts were in this format.
Thanks.
