Create new WordPress site based on old site DB

  • Hi.
    My old WordPress site got closed, so now I have full database left, but no access to frontend of WordPress.

    I want to recreate the old site at a new URL, can I do that?

  • Yes, is your database a backup file or a live database?

    Either way upload the wordpress core files to your new URL(server) and follow the instructions.

    If your database is a backup file I would suggest doing a new install and then importing the database (also depending on file type).

    If your database is still live, you should use the upgrade options. You may need to change the address of the site manually in the database before your site will work properly, I’m not sure, it’s been a while since I last had to restore a complete install.

    I hope I could be of some assistance
