Hello all,
I screwed up my WordPress Installation. So I backedup the content and did a fresh install. Re-uploaded content page and changed database connection in config to the old database. Connection was successful (at first it wasn't but I found I mistyped the pw at first), and in the Dash I was able to immediately restore my theme, but the dash doesn't see my posts or pages.
What should I do?
EDIT!!!!!
New problem - (previous problem was table prefix needed to be changed).
New problem is now the pages are appearing in my dash - they are all there and the content is there, but the links don't work. Maybe if I change the permalink it will work... trying that now.
EDIT EDIT!!!!
The second problem already had a solution available - I had to reset the permalinks as instructed here https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-links-not-working-9?replies=2 and then add an htaccess file to the root folder with the code shown in the dashboard after I hit update. So, now I don't need help but I'll leave this up so someone else doesn't have to go blind for five hours like I did.
