Hello, there!
I am testing a second wp site in my droplet. I restored database and wp-content, but not everything shows up. Plugins are there all activated. The theme is also active. But no pages or posts or images of the original site i am trying to migrate. It seems the site is not accessing its correct database. The articles showing are of the on board theme, ‘hello world’.
Some idea?

Thank you!
I had some trouble figuring out everything. I deleted the two databases. I then created a database with the same name of my desired wp site. Granted priviledeges to user. In the config file i changed the database for this last created one.
And all is working.
But there is a mistery. It may be due to the fact i am in a testing mode via my local hosts file. When i try to login in wp-admin with my oficial user in the new wp install my user is denied. However, when i login with my user from my wp site alive in the shared hosting, it works.
I presume that when i change DNS, what i’ll be doing today, this error will be away.
What do you think?
I meant the user configured in my fresh installed wp-config.php. I’ll go live and see.
Thanks!!
