 * I have just moved hosts.
 * I backed up my SQL file and thought that would be enough to get me going with
   my new provider.
    When I follow the instructions from [http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/restore/](http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/restore/)
   everything appears ok. I can log in to the admin page and see all my old posts
   and settings. The problem is when I try to view my actual site it just come up
   with a blank white page.
 * Does anyone know how to fix this ?
 * Thanks

 * Check your themes – or try changing to another.

 * Thanks PODZ ! I had already gave this a try. But I set everything to default 
   when I ran my backup so it should have picked up the default WP theme.
 * I have found my answer, hooray !
 * My new host has a slightly different path structure to my home folder. So once
   I changed the two settings below
 * Destination directory
    URI of this directory
 * It was all back to normal.
 * Thanks again for the response Podz

 * I think I’ll add this to the pages above.
 * Glad it’s all sorted 🙂
