Basically i installed wordpress through softaculous and i had a few problems so i made a backup and made a new wordpress blog then imported my wordpress backup basically just uploading to file manager then copying over files but it doesn't change like the blog?
 
Did you import/set up your database with your wordpress installation as well?

The mysql database did you downloaded it and uploaded it to the new database ?
 
When restoring the database have you added the SQL user to the database in the control panel? Or ensured that wordpress is using the correct username/password/db name?

Also, when restoring a DB it depends on how you backed it up, did you do an export via phpMyAdmin or a SQL backup via backups in cPanel?

I got the backup from softaculous i create the user through mysql database wizard.
 
Could you FTP in and paste the contents of a file titled error_log (Please remove the folder name preceding /public_html as that is the username for you to login to your control panel, for your security remove it).
 
Hmm. From what I see, the details you input in the wp-config.php might be wrong. That is why there is an error in establishing database connection.
 
Ok...

Please delete everything from your current DB except the DB itself - Then upload the backup ONLY. This will ensure there are no duplicate entries.
 
I deleted everything installed my database and it just goes to installing it again like wordpress...

Prefix? not to sure what you mean when it comes to database stuff i'm totally awful 😛
 
Default WP installations have table prefixes of wp_ - this appears at the beginning of each table in the DB, which is viewable in MyAdmin.

If that doesn't correspond to what's in wp-config.php, it won't recognise the tables.
