    Hello Forum,

    I have a problem with my backup. I’ve done a backup with backup migration to a new WP installation. After I installed the backup to the new installation WP always leads me to install.php I can’t get to wp-admin or to any other page.

    Does anybody know what the problem could be?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @h2b2

    If you’re using custom table prefix, please make sure it matches on the site where you restored your backup. You can check that in wp-config.php or the site where you created the backup.

    $table_prefix variable should be same as the one on the site where you preformed restoration, once you adjust it, installation page should disappear and restoration should be complete immediately.

    I corrected the wp-config.php-data. Now it leads to the right site.

    But when I install the backup with Backup Migration, the site doesn’t know me anymore. It says my username/email address is not registered on that site.

    Hi @h2b2

    After restoration you need to use accounts that existed at the time when you created the backup.

    In other words: During restoration all accounts are getting replaced with the ones included in the backup, so, you should use the same details as on the site where you created the backup.
