February 5, 201214 yr Hi all, Have recently transferred a website for a friend from one rogue host to a very helpful host from this very community, the website has a frontend and backend, (the ex developer was given the site by my friend after her previous web developer retired) and is on two different domains with two hosting accounts, something the ex developer structured and all very confusing, I believe he redeveloped and redesigned the frontend to make it look better so did a wordpress site and the backend is the original site. We have uploaded to new host with the same structure for the time being until I am comfortable with being able to sort things myself. It is a dating site so the frontend has around 14 pages and has a registration area for new users and also a current members login and uses the wordpress platform. You get redirected to the backend (members area) once you have logged in or registered as a new user. The new host has kindly moved all files over from the old host and uploaded related databases and sql dumps. the domain names have also successfully propagated. this was completed two days ago. Problem is I was given wp-admin details and when I login to the frontend wordpress site, there are no 14 pages, and it has gone back to the default sample page. I am at a loss as to what to do and dont want to keep bothering the already very kind and helpful host. I have no experience of using wordpress in this way so dont know where to start getting all pages back up and running? My friend has the index.html's from all 14 pages and I have uploaded these to the new hosting account for the time being but they are just static html pages so members cant sign up or existing members cant login in. the ex developer wont answer any calls or mails so asking him is out of the question. Please can someone help on what I should do next to reload into the state it was before transferring to the new host. Thanks so much for your help
