nocomply,
Here's a question you might have the answer to.
- Last night I copied the full current site DB in PHP_MyADmin to a new database. Full duplication.
- Set up new WP install on a subdomain.
- Changed config file to point to the copied DB - username, password, DB name.
- Site was up and running with default WP theme. Nothing but the basic content that's there by default.
- I DID NOT import an exported WP XML file, because the server is throwing an error because of size issues. The host increased max size for two aspects but still throwing an error.In the WP Dashboard, I couldn't find posts, pages, anything from the database. Does connecting to a DB full of posts/pages make them appear in the site, or do you absolutely have to do the export/import from within Wordpress? I guess I expected to open the dashboard and see all the content there.
