WordPress structure
-
Hello,
I have an issue that seems complicated and I don’t know if it can be solved. I had to backup a website from one host before the hosting plan ends there, and migrate it along with the domain to another hosting provider. But being a university student with a busy schedule, what I did was the following:
1. I downloaded all files in the main wordpress folder “public_html”.
2. I exported the database from phpMyAdmin as a .sql file.
3. I moved the domain from that hosting provider to the new one.
The hosting plan ended and the website doesn’t exist anymore.
Now I’m trying to set up the website on the new host but it’s seems very complicated.
I tried to copy paste the whole wordpress folder via SFTP as it is, and imported the database tables to the new phpMyAdmin area into a new database. But the website still doesn’t work.The old database had a custom prefix, while the new database has a new fixed name, and a new prefix.
Does anyone has a suggestion on how to bring my website back live using the public_html folder and the .sql file, taking into account all the modifications I have to do to make sure that wordpress will work correctly?
Thank you for your time in advance.
