import form entry data?

    My site was hacked. I have decided to start fresh with my only backup, a very old one. I know that I can import forms, but, is it possible to retrieve the form entry data from the old site? If so, how would I do that?

    Thanks

  2. All the form entries are stored in the WordPress database. If you have access to the database and it's not affected, you can copy over the wp_rg_ tables and have your entries and forms back. This requires you have access to a good database backup and a tool like phpMyAdmin to perform the export and import.

    I got stuck. My restored install has different table prefix than the hacked database. Using phpMyAdmin, can you tell me how I would restore the wp_rg_ tables or point me to a good reference?

    Thanks!
