Hi @Catherine_Chang . Could you try the following as well?

**Here’s an example of a site**  
Name: sitename  
Original folder: DevKinsta/public/sitename  
Domain: sitename.local  
Database: sitename

1. Find the old WordPress folder on your computer (DevKinsta/public/sitename)
2. Rename the directory to → sitename\_temp
3. You should be able to see (sitename) in the [Database Manager](https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/devkinsta/database-manager/) via localhost:15200. [More info here too](https://kinsta.com/blog/adminer/#devkinsta-and-adminer-easy-wordpress-database-management)
4. Create an sql dump / export through the Database Manager / Adminer
5. Delete the old database (sitename)
6. Create a brand new WordPress site on DevKinsta with the exact same name (sitename) → it creates a database which will be named `sitename`
7. Copy all the files to the new site folder (DevKinsta/public/sitename) from temp folder (DevKinsta/public/sitename\_temp)
8. Drop all the tables from the new database and import the sql dump on Database Manager / Adminer.

Please let me know if you have any questions on this process!
