Old Website SQL DB & files – is there a way to import to a new site?

As with any CMS that uses a database, WordPress stores content in the database so you wouldn’t see it in the files.

It should be possible to recreate the site from what you have. If you’d like to work on it on your local machine then upload to a hosting account when you’re ready, LocalWP is a good tool to get the prerequisites installed and running.

You’ll need to import your SQL file into the database (making sure that wp-config.php is pointing to the table generated), and place your theme files in /wp-content/themes/themename
