That’s what confuses me> There is no Import button on the phpMyAdmin, otherwise I would have tried that.

After changing my username and password for the database (and updating the wp-config again), the blog is now showing up! It doesn’t have any of the old database info (all posts are lost). I was able to find a button for “Import” within the Admin of the blog, but when I tried to upload my .sql file that I exported from the database, it gave me the following message:

“Please upload a valid WXR (WordPress eXtended RSS) export file.”

Hi kichu… thanks for your speedy reply.

I just figured out how to export all the tables using phpMyAdmin within the old server’s control panel. So I have a copy of all the database info, but don’t know how to upload it to the new site. I’ve finally located the phpMyAdmin panel on the new site’s control panel, but don’t see any “Import” button.

thanks. I’ll try these 2 options when I have some time to wrap my head around it. One question before I do this: to change the wp_options table, can I do this through ftp, or do I have to use phpmyadmin (it looks confusing, from what I read about it).
