    Alright so I am trying to migrate my wordpress site, and the end result looks to be a page that has its CSS all messed up.
    Here is what I am doing, I would like for someone to tell me if I am doing something wrong here:

    On my new server:

    Install a new Wordpress. thru FTP. I am overwritting the new wp-content folder with my backed up copy of wp-admin

    thru phpMyadmin i am selecting the right database for that new wordpress....i hit import and import my backed up .sql file..

    am i missing something here?


    thanks for all the help in advance

    They way you've described seems all right to me.

    Anyhow, you could transfer all WP files not only wp-content and wp-admin, but then again it doesn't make much difference.

    I am wondering if domain name changed since you mentioned messed up .css file.

    I would suggest you checking your paths.

    Try to describe better what is wrong so we can help you with your problem.

    Then it's an issue in your paths to images when it comes to css files.
