[Wordpress] How to keep all posts, formatting, catigories and pages but install fresh

Discussion in 'Content Management' started by wwe9112, Feb 15, 2011.

    OK, well I installed wordpress manually which is causing a whole lot of problems and my host recently added in one of those installers that will install it all for you. I did a test site from it and everything runs way more smoothly then my installed copy. I want to keep all my posts, pages, theme, plugins, etc. but just install it from the backend. Is this possible? In other words I want a fresh copy of Wordpress with everything still the same. How do I do this?

    Thanks.

    manual installation is much better than auto installs

    If you installed WordPress manually, there are no file differences over auto-install. It sounds like your problems lie with either your theme or plugins. You need to troubleshoot your problems there.

    Your entire wp-content folder is is usually 755 (or 777 in some hosts). See Changing File Permissions in WordPress Codex. Images, if you have not changed any default settings, start at wp-content/uploads and are usually organized by year/month. Make sure that the wp-content/upload folder is set to 755, then try again.

    Make sure you wp-content/images folder cmd to 777. Manual and auto-install doesn't have any different.
