Database reconnection

  • Dear All,

    I have several database tables installed on my page. Now after a WP update, and page restoration from a malfunctioning plugin / theme, I lost all my pages, my admin page leads to an empty WP dashboard.

    I have trouble reconnecting an old database to this new page, so my pages and posts are restored. (Also, I would like to clean up the messy database structure) I tried modifying wp-config.php with database credentials, but all I ended up with is a page where wp installations starts.

    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Akos

  • Hello!
    Have you checked if your database prefix is correct? Make sure the lower/uppercase letters also match ??

    Hi Valentine,

    Thanks for the answer.
    I did check the cases, here’s the structure I have:
    regenera_wp
    regenera_wp506
    regenera_wp912

    Now, the current connection points to regenera_wp (which is blank/new). However, changing the login/DB credentials to regenera_wp912 (where my posts and pages are) in wp-config.php was not sufficient. I wanted to get my old page back, instead I got a new installation prompt.

    Thanks,
    Akos

    Hello,

    I would recommend you to consider restoring your wp-config.php and database.

    If this is not suitable, double check your wp-config.php database, username, password and host, as well as the prefix.

    If your database regenera_wp912 has the necessary content and your credentials are correct, your website should work properly.

    If, however, the database has some inconsistency, the website would not work correctly. In this case a restore is recommended.
