This could get complicated. If something really broke it’s possible your Pages either changed post type, or lost their post type altogether. See if you can find them under Posts or something.
The best way is to open up your database in phpMyAdmin or something like it and look in the wp_posts table and see if you can find them there.
Thank you very much for the response @topher1kenobe
I had a backup of the DB before adding new subscribers, now I linked my website with the backed up DB, I transferred wp_options and wp_postmeta from corrupted DB to the backed up DB, now I see the pages and contents. However the website is not showing the contents as it supposed to be. Please help me understand where exactly the root cause is.
Many thanks in advance!
You’ll probably want more than those two tables. At least wp_posts as well. Why not the entire database?
My concern, if I try most of the DB to the new one, I might break the website again.
So it is better to add most of the table content to the new one? Sorry to ask but I’m a newbie to the LAMP stack. Hopefully I get there asap.
Hi @topher1kenobe
Sorry for the delayed response.
I managed to retrieve the Database and WordPress contents.
I can see all the contents on my WordPress dashboard. However, the website looks broken.
I guess this should be CSS. I’m unable to figure out what exactly causing the issue.
If there is any way that we can contact personally, I’ll forward the website and wordpress details to check on the backend.
Many thanks in advance.
It looks like the only pages it brought in are the defaults for an ecommerce platform. Also it didn’t bring in any posts. The nav looks weird because you don’t actually have one. The default behavior is to show ALL pages, so it’s big and ugly.
If you create a nav and choose a theme it’ll look a lot nicer.
Thank you for the hint @topher1kenobe about the CSS
Seems like my Default kit was corrupted and the Active kit was not connected to the new Kit properly, so I had to change the ID and few changes here and there, that worked for me. Thank you!

Well done! I don’t know anything about Elementor, and have never heard of kits, so I couldn’t help you there. 🙂
No problem. You were a help 🙂 Thank you
