    Hello,
    I had to switch hosts and all reinstalled wp1.2 on the new host. I have the archvied files and such (backup) but when I look at the calender on my blog, it doesnt have anything before today March 15, 2005. How do I get the calender on my blog to reflect my past blogs which were dated?

    TIA

    You need a copy of the database where the posts were actualy stored…. hopefully it’s not too late.

    You will require a copy of the actual SQL database your original installation of WordPress utilized, which will be on your previous host’s server. Cpanel offers 1-click backup, or you can get it through PhpMyAdmin via the Export tab.

    If you can’t get that file, as far as I know, you are out of luck.
