Yeah you're right. You totally *should* be able to see those posts and pages. Though I haven't ever tried what you're doing before, which is to pull in and old DB with a fresh set of system files.
I wouldn't expect your custom post types or custom taxonomies to appear, but I would expect the basic posts/pages to be present.
The fact that they're not and that the site functions just fine is what makes me think maybe it isn't pulling from that old DB for some reason, but I wouldn't know why.
It could be something stupid I'm overlooking. Wouldn't be the 10th time that's happened to me. But I can't think of anything off the bat.
But remember, that old DB thinks your site is running from a different URL than it actually is. That's going to cause some issues, though I think this is separate from the issue you're currently facing.
- posts will always import - just use wordpress importer if not comfortable with mySQL... those posts will import - may need to change categories etc after but thfadein11
