    My website was hacked on the hosting server and malware was uploaded. I had previously backed up the site when it was locally installed on my computer.

    On the hosting server I kept the database but I dropped all of the tables. From the backed up .sql file on my computer I changed all of the links from https://localhost/wordpress/ or https://127.0.0.1:8080/wordpress/ to https://www.butchswoodshed.com/. I then imported this file into the database located on the hosting server. I added a new user to the host database. I updated the wp-config.php with the new user information and moved it to the host server.

    I updated the .htaccess file to

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /butchswoodshed/
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . https://www.butchswoodshed.com/ [L]
    </IfModule>
    
    # END WordPress

    Now when I visit https://www.butchswoodshed.com it directs me to https://www.butchswoodshed.com/wp-admin/install.php

    Also if I do the five minute install it takes me to the dashboard like normal. However if I try to visit the site from the dashboard I get the white screen of death.

    Here is a link to the database code. [removed]

    Also, I do not think this is a plugin or theme issue as everything was working find until I changed the links in the database.

    I also tried optimizing or repairing my tables but that did nothing.

    I am stumped as to where to go from here. I have researched but have been unsuccessful finding a solution. All the database info is there, I just can’t get it to play nicely with my wordpress site. Thanks in advance for your help.

    1. Your database that you posted includes your passwords and other login info. I have removed it, but I can’t do anything about the sites that scrape this forum’s feed. Once you have recovered access, change your passwords *immediately*.

    2. Make sure that the database table prefix in wp-config.php matches the prefix on the tables in the actual database itself.
