Tranferring news articles to a brand new installation of xoops.

I asked previously in this topic about transferring my entire site to a new domain...

https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=67713&forum=20&post_id=306694#forumpost306694

But I was not able to successfully transfer over. Since what I'm trying to do is build a new site using my old websites previous news entries it isn't important that I transfer over everything. All I need from my old installation are all the news articles.

So my question is, how do I take my news articles from my old site and transfer them over to a new installation of xoops. I'm a beginner when it comes to managing mySQL databases, so I'm not sure if this is even possible, but anything you could help me would be appreciated.

I've tried simply restore my files and database from my old web host to the new one, but that didn't work. Is there some kind of guide that can help me with this or anything else I need to do besides restoring my backups of my public_html directory and database?

The databases have the same name on both webhosts.

I tried to reinstall XOOPS with no success. It's really important that users can register on my website. Any one have an idea as to what could be causing this?

I'm just using a modified version of the default XOOPS theme from several versions ago, but here it is:

Thank you for your help mamba. I'm using CBB 3.08. I tried reuploading the files, but no dice. Can any one help me on the database side of things?

"You do not have permission to access this area" loop on registering or retrieving lost password

My visitors are unable to register with my website or even retrieve their passwords. If they click either options they get an infinite loop telling them "You do not have permission to access this area...redirect in 5 seconds etc"


Any ideas what could be causing this?

Well, you right about using an outdated theme. My theme file did not have the code for the bottom blocks, but even after pasting the code you gave me it still doesn't display. I noticed the other positions have a corresponding html file in my theme, such as theme_blockcenter_c.html. Do I need a file like this for the other positions?

I tried both of your suggestions, repairing tables and turning on the debugger.

Repairing tables did nothing, and the debugger doesn't show any errors. Is it possible I can just create a category using phpmyadmin? What should I know before I potentially mess up my database
