Can you help me import old wordpress blogs without WXR files?
so i’m tryign to get my old posts to show up on my new blog.
i uploaded all my old wordpress junk to the ftp
just changed the config
thought that would work
yeah the thing is that i was supposed to export them in a WXR file and i didn’t
i just have what was on the server as it was
i don’t know the words to ask my question
i don’t get where all the actual content is in all this wp junk
wp-content?
under uploads there’s all my pics
and it made a new folder for the blog i posted today
so it’s going in the same place
as the old stuff
now i need to get the old stuff to show
does that make sense?
in wordpress i go to tools then import and i don’t know what files to import

The actual content is in a database, which you won’t be able to FTP.
Is your old blog still running? If so, export it from there. It will produce the WXR file for you.
If it’s not, you’re going to have to copy the database to a new one at the new location, and WordPress has no tools for that.
