Hi Lyle – thanks so much for your response. I feel like I’m about 98% there. I imported the old SQL file into a new database and I can now see all my old tables in the new DB. I also copied in all the old WAMP www files into the new WAMP www folder.

However, now when I go to the expected path (https://localhost/wordpress/) I get the message: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. If I attempt to open the wordpress admin page (https://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/) it says:

Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password
information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect
or we can't contact the database server at localhost.

So I guess I need to reset the password or something? Apologies if I’ve arrived at a very basic question, but how is that done? I’ve tried resetting the password in the wp_users table, but not sure if I need to change it somewhere else too. Do I need to make manual changes to the wp_config.php file?

Does anyone have any advice they can offer here? I can’t believe this is a particularly unusual situation. It seems that there must be a fairly straightforward way to recover my work seeing as I still have full access to the original hard disk.

Apologies if I’ve posted this in the wrong forum group – if there’s a more appropriate location, could someone suggest it? Thanks! ??

I am also getting this. Looks like the Sharebar people aren’t answering questions any more judging by “0 of 8 support threads in last 2 months have been resolved”… If anyone finds a fix I’d love to hear it. Thanks ??

Excellent, good to know, thanks Jeremy!

Ah great, glad I could help! It would be a 2 second fix for the programmers, but I guess it isn’t a high priority bug. Plus the workaround isn’t too bad right? ??

Awesome, thanks!

Hi there esmi, thanks for your reply. Could you briefly explain how I do that? I’m not great at CSS… Perhaps a little example?
