Corrupt DB
-
Hi.. I am new here, and not a WordPress master, so I hope this is the correct forum.
I was tasked with building a new website for a person that has multiple business and domains. The site I built was for one of the business, some other domains had sites, others were parked. I built the new site in drupal (sorry). All the sites and domains are (ack) hosted on godaddy. There was one domain that had s broken wordpress installation on one domain, stored in a subfolder. Before launching the new site, as good practice I backed up everything.
Now, it turns out this other domain, is an important site (even though it was broken before, I cannot prove it to the clients satisfaction).
It is wordpress, with the cyberchimps business lite theme (which I have used in the past).
To TS, I installed a fresh wordpress, installed the theme, to a fresh DB in another folder.. it worked. I then pointed this install to the old DB and it no longer works. YOu get some text, by no JS, CSS, or images. The links to images in the generated HTML look correct, but do not work (even though a check site through ftp shows they are, and permissions are fine).
Any page on the site all produce a WP 404 error, with the menu text (no css or images) and footer all present.
So, all points to something in the DB being hosed. Not having dug deeply into a wordpress DB (never had to), I have no idea how to fix or pull the old content out. There is not much, but I need to get it working, so any pointers or hints would be appreciated. For any interested the site is https://hhbailenforcement.com/
Thanks for any help!
