I have purchased a site from a member of this forum. The site is a wordpress site. I was given three files: themes, plugins, sql backup. I can not get any help from the seller. I sorry now I can for an additional fee. I have imported the sql database(file) through phpMyadmin. The problem I have is I don't know what to do from here. With this being a wordpress site, there is a wordpress database already installed. Are the databases conflicting, or can they run independently? At this point the site I purchased is nothing but a glorified wordpress site with a partial template; therefore I am guessing that the problem lies in the database I would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks
Is the database possibly a backup of his old WP database? If it is, just dropping all the tables from your current WP DB and then importing the sql file will recreate the website in its fully functional format?
Thanks for responding to the thread. Yes, I believe it is a backup of his old WP database. I drop the tables from the database that WP automatically makes when you install WP and then import the backup database? Thanks for your help.
