Thinking about it, I seem to remember checking ‘add DROP TABLE’ to the structure options when I took the backup – that’s the option that replaces files right?

Is there a way to manually edit the backup file to remove that option?

I really appreciate you taking time to help

That’s a good idea, I’ll back up a copy of the whole thing as it currently stands just in case then try.

There are mentions of ‘DROP TABLE IF EXISTS’ but all relating to the website i’m trying to reinstall.

I guess my biggest fear is because there is only a mention of one website/prefix that it will blank the other on there.

thanks for the response, I have searched for the other prexix and it is not there – only the one I want to restore.

If I restore what will happen to the other tables/other website currently on the database? Will it blank them or just add to them?

Hi there,

each install has it’s own database prefix as per wordpress installation instructions. I had a look and and they are both using the right prefix.

Could it be something to do with the second install still using a prefix defined by me rather than the plugin?

What do you think would happen if i went through the ‘set up process’ again? Would it start working again or would I lose everything and be on a fresh start?

appreciate the help
