  Hi corinnacremer,

  Is your old website on WordPress as well? If this is the case you can check out this guide. If your old website is using another platform, please look at this guide.

  Hope that helps.

  Wish you a nice day!

  Hi @corinnacremer,

  On WordPress.com you do not have access to the database.
  You could however try out @kosiew ‘s solution:

  You can however set up REST API access to your MySQL databases and install custom plugins in your WordPress.com to use the REST API.

  Have a great day!

  Hello there @corinnacremer, only the WordPress.com Business plan gives you the ability to install plugins (and comes with a lot of other features). https://en.support.wordpress.com/business-plan/

  It isn’t possible to import a database directly to WordPress.com. We do not have access to PHPMyAdmin Is your WordPress website still online? If so, the best solution would be to export the site as XML and then upload the XML file here to WordPress.com Here’s more on that https://transferto.wordpress.com/self-hosted-wordpress-org/

  Let us know if you have any other question after reading those support guides.

  
  @elizazh If you quote another volunteer, please also provide a link to the answer so that it can be seen in context. Is this the thread you meant? https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/mysql-and-html/ Thanks.
