Restore Website

[ChrisPAR]

Well, where are you moving your old site from?

[SashaMaltese]

from hostinger to this new provider infinityfree. I have the back ups all files and database from customer service of hostinger in zip folder.

[ChrisPAR]

Okay, if you have the database from Hostinger, you’ll need to import it here. You can do so by following this guide:

How to import a MySQL database backup

If you’re moving your website from an existing hosting provider, or it simply doesn’t have an installation wizard, you may wish to import a MySQL dump file. To use a database backup, you first need to create a new database and configure your script to use it. Then, to import the database: Login to the control panel. Go to phpMyAdmin. Find the new database in the list and click Connect Now. Click Import in the top bar. Select the database backup file to import and click Go. Uploading large ba…

How to migrate your website to InfinityFree

If your website doesn’t use MySQL databases, moving your site is very easy. Simply upload all your files to the ‘htdocs’ folder on your hosting account with FTP or a file manager. If you have a PHP based website, check if it has any configuration files where a domain name or file path needs to be set. Update these values as required. If your website is using MySQL databases, you need to move the database contents as well and update the configuration of your website to use the database: Backup…

Try following this ^

@SashaMaltese

SQL Imports are usually having the file extension of “.sql”, and not “.zip”

@SashaMaltese

I have separated this one

You will then need to upload all the files into the “htdocs” folder

[SashaMaltese]

I have uploaded but nothing shows.

How to do when I do not know which type of folder to upload and which one, I found only one sql database and uploaded to sql. Is there anyone who can assist here only to check if I put them correctly or how can I do with video tutorial?

[KangJL]

@SashaMaltese

I found only one sql

For best practice, if your have two websites, having two databases will provide better clarity.
If everything is lumped into one database, good luck!

If you need more help, provide more info

[Admin]

I checked your account, and I see you have one database which contains multiple WordPress installations. One set of tables appears to have been created by Softaculous, and I’m assuming the other tables are from your backup.

You can choose which set of tables your WordPress installation uses through the wp-config.php file of your site. In it is a variable $table_prefix. It’s currently set to a value that looks like wpXX_. Some of the tables in your database have that same wpXX_ prefix, others only have the wp_ prefix.

So if you change the $table_prefix variable from wpXX_ to wp_, WordPress should start loading all your previous pages, posts, settings, etc.

For future reference: if you want to migrate an existing site, you don’t want to setup a new site. Simply copy ALL files of your website, import the database, update the database credentials, and everything will be as you left it. Transplanting content between installations is much more difficult than just moving the entire installation.

You can fix your site by doing what I told you to do:

@Admin

So if you change the $table_prefix variable from wpXX_ to wp_, WordPress should start loading all your previous pages, posts, settings, etc.

If something is not clear, please let me know what part is not clear to you.

[SashaMaltese]

where to find table_prefix variable? and instead of wpXX will put wp_?

I looked at your account before. There was one domain name on your account, which had one WordPress installation, which was a clean installation through Softaculous. I checked the database, and there were two WordPress installation there: one from Softaculous, and one which I presume is from a backup you uploaded.

If the website you see now is a different one than you expected, it seems to me like you uploaded the database backup of the wrong website. Our hosting doesn’t do anything special, it just runs the code you provide with the data you provide. It doesn’t magically show a different website unless you set it up that way.

---

To move forward from here, I would do the following:

1. Verify that you have a working and complete backup of sashamaltese.com.
2. Delete the current WordPress installation (files and database) from your hosting account with us. The Softaculous uninstall function can probably do that for you.
3. Upload the backup of your website. Please try to follow the instructions from our website migration guide: How to migrate your website to InfinityFree

@SashaMaltese

I uploaded all the files with zip format (WinRAR), which are included two websites.

If you have two websites, you should have two sets of WordPress files and two databases. You can pack them in a single zip file of course, but then you should know which files and database belong to which website.
