Found the missing bit: the display_name and user_nicename fields also need to be updated….

So:

UPDATE wp_users u INNER JOIN newDir.hashOldLoginToNew l ON u.user_login = l.oldLogin
SET
u.user_login = l.newLogin,
u.user_nicename = l.newLogin,
u.display_name = l.newLogin

works beautifully!

HTH someone else stuck in this problem….

re-doing the installation from scratch with a fresh download of the installation tarball.

hopefully i won’t encounter the same error again.

thanks.

Thanks for the help. I *am* my own service provider. The DB is fine, I can connect to it, use the appropriate database, and even pull records from it.

The issue seems to be a missing sunrise.php file. Where can I obtain this file?
