Importing WordPress website

[ad_1]

This is my first time dealing with WordPress.

I was asked to take over a website. The person who designed the website sent me a SQL dump (dump.sql) file and a compressed “HTML” folder. I installed WordPress with my host and have access to the WordPress dashboard.

This is where i am stuck. How do I proceed to make the website work? I am completely clueless here. Please help!

  1. What exactly is in the “compressed HTML file”?

    You should import the sql file into the database, and dump the ZIP contents into the wp folder. Though technically you only need /wp-content/*
