My web hosting provider somehow removed my website. Now I have only the following data from my removed website:
- A copy of the database (.dump file)
- A copy of the Webserver folder of the WordPress website.
I tried the following to reconstruct my website (tried locally and also online):
- Create an empty database and import a copy of the database (.sql file by just renaming the .dump file)
- In the wp-config.php, inside the folder of WordPress folder, change the database info (user, pass, ...)
- Try to access the website. It tries to install WordPress from scratch.
- Even though I tried to install WordPress, but there is still an empty "Hello World" website with all previously installed plugins.
- Updating plugins and Themes also did not help.
My hosting provider is IONOS, Germany. Any suggestion?
