Indeed, upload the sql file somewhere on the ftp and I can grab it.
I'll send you my email address in a PM for easier comms

You are on.
So I'll pm you the ftp password and the existing wp login I guess.
Probably easiest would be to upload the sql file on the ftp?

I've done many WP installs along with custom work, I can also happily read raw sql files too so if you still need a hand I'm happy to have a look for you. Assuming it's not too far from a standard WP install then I should be able to get it all running for you.
Hi,
Some cowboys developed a wordpress site for me. The site was demonstrated working on their demosite, and we have the files uploaded to the final site. (Although its not clear they have been uploaded to the right place.) We also have sql files that create the database for the site.
There are a few problems. If we run the sql they gave us to create the database (on an empty database), the site seems to work but all the links on it point to the demo website, which presumably is about to disappear. And also we loose all of the wordpress admin features. We cannot even login as wordpress administrator.
On the otherhand, running the sql given against the wordpress database that already exists (wp_505 I think) gives working admin facilities, but a broken site, just a white page.
What I need is instructions on how to fix this mess and or help doing so. The cowboys said that the problem was that I would not give them unfettered login access to my hosters but I never said I would and I dont see that should be needed, should it? Wordpress was already installed.
I will give you ftp access to the site. I can show you the sql file we were given and make any database changes that you request of me.
I am offering 0.35 bitcoins for this when the site is working on the target url.
The site administrator (who initially paid the cowboys, in advance) wants to be able to be able to use the standard wordpress features to administer the site, and if we could use these, probably many of the corections needed could be done.
I am not asking you to alter the site except to make the demo that we have work, and the links point to our website and not the cowboys!
