Finally I managed to import my wordpress database and my phpbb forum. I used the programm SQLyog. It works just like a ftp-programm and this way I could import my database again. I am so glad it worked! I thought I can never get my site back on. It’s in Dutch, but if you want to check it out: http://www.animal-crossing.nl

@Janice Welch: Categorie just provides a way to group (filter) your posts…when you click on a post or comment link in a post, then you are taken to that post. It sounds like you want your categories to be separate mini-blogs all showing on a homepage. I’m sure this could be done, but it would take some significant coding. I don’t have time for something that involved, but you may want to post to the WordPress Pro mailing list and see what kind of response you get–I don’t know of a plugin that will do this, so it will cost to have this coded by someone.

I am having trouble with my posts linking to the same category (in every one of my categories) when you hit “read more” or try to add another comment from the site side. I want the comments in each category to stay on that category post (category page the main commment is listed on, not take the reader to another page (category). Can you help me?

To see what I am talking about my web site is http://www.heretowellness.com
Thank you.

@Archana: Can’t really help more than I have…you should be able to dump the db without that table.

I don’t know exactly what to do now. I can’t do a thing through my phpadmin except for dumping all my tables. If I want to import the database I get an error. If I upload the file through bigdump I get a few errors. I removed the line 44 but I still get errors.

At this point I can’t get to my orignial adminpanel since there aren’t any complete tables online. Is there another way to fix what I have done?

I hope I can upload it again because it took me months to (almost) finish my website…

Thank for your help.

U r using wordpress right?
Then there is another way to get all ur post and other things.Just instead of downloading the database and solving these kind of errors u can Download the xml file from u wordpress admin menu and upload it and get all ur post.

@Archana: Yes, phpmyadmin…just dump the db again but without that table.

Hello Figaro, i deleted the line and then tried to upload it again. But still got errors. What do you mean with go to your original database? You mean my phpmyadmin?

@Archana: A couple of things to try. 1) just open the sql file in an editor and delete the line. This is a duplicate record in the table for the scheduler calendar you have installed. If you get another similiar error, then I would suggest just going to your original db and dump all tables except for the “events_rec” table and see if that works.

Ok, that could be it then. I have post the error to pastebin: http://pastebin.com/d3764d173

I don’t know what to do anymore, in fact, I can’t do a thing now with my website. I made backups from all the files and also made a backup from my database. The plan was to move my site from animal-crossing.nl/wp to animal-crossing.nl
