  • The issue is you didn’t ( successfully ) transfer the database.

    Hi Mr. Fuller,

    Thank you for your help. I really appreciated it.

    But my case is different. Let me tell you my story. One day, I suddenly found my website could not open, showing the regular “database not connected” that normal mistakes. My first thought is the problem of wp config.php. But I never change that before. How comes the database connection problem. With doubt and curiosity, I open the config.php, whose database,user name and password all are gone, with the default filling in as sample config.php written(I forgot to take screenshot.I rewrite those places with correct user name and password immediately. Then it began to install the wordpress system.

    So apparently I did not change the database. What should I do to solve the problem. Thank you in advance.

    Best regards

    Open you hosting control panel and see if you have a tool like phpMyAdmin to explore you databases, see if you have one with wordpress table & contents and if so use those credentials.

    If your hosting company provide good support they should be able to assist you with this.

    @kevinsmith4758 Please never offer anyone access to your server. I have removed that part from your post.

    Everyone here is a volunteer and if someone asks for that access or accepts it then a) its very dangerous for you and b) they risk being banned from this site. Please don’t do that again.

    Hi Mr.Fuller,

    I can find these forms. I don’t have a good support from my hosting company. How to use these forms. Thank you.

    Hi Jan, I remember that. Thank you!

    Sorry your host is un-supportive.

    As you seems to be struggling and the help you require goes beyond what volunteers here can give, I suggest you hire a professional to help you.

    There are many companies that will provide such support for a fee or you can use the site https://jobs.wordpress.net/
