 * Hi,
 * I’m transfering a website to another domain. I kept the original database and
   I imported it via phpMyAdmin. I didn’t upload the plugin of the original site
   yet.
 * I go to the new website for tests, but I see no articles or pages transfered,
   as if I did nothing.
 * What must I do ?

 * Hi [@newtravels2020](https://wordpress.org/support/users/newtravels2020/)
 * First, open **phpMyAdmin** for the new website and confirm that it displays your**
   database name** along with tables such as `wp_posts`, `wp_users`, `wp_options`,
   etc. If these are missing, the database import likely failed.
 * If the tables are present, then check your site’s **`wp-config.php`** file to
   ensure the `DB_NAME`, `DB_USER`, `DB_PASSWORD`, and `DB_HOST` values are correctly
   set to match your new database credentials.
 * Regards

 * Firstly I checked the database. The transfer worked well. But I found the following
   tables:
 * wp3c_options
   wp3c_postswp3c_users
 * wpo7_options
   wpo7_postswpo7_users
 * I’m going to cancel some tables.

 * Apparently the database uses its own prefix for the tables. WordPress uses `wp_`
   here, but this can be adjusted in `wp-config.php`.
 * Since you apparently also have 2 different prefixes, you need to check which 
   of them come from your source site. You can check this, for example, by looking
   at the original website in `wp-config.php` and checking the prefix there. You
   must then also enter this in your target page.
 * I’m also a little surprised why you are going this manual route. There are many
   plugins that make such a move easier and take such work off your hands. You can
   find examples here: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/migration/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/migration/)
 * There are also instructions for relocations here, which also refer to the prefixes:
