I restored from a backup on new vps and this caused a whole lot of problems, including permission problems in Wordpress.
My solution was to reinstall Kloxo-MR, create fresh install of Wordpress files.
I used XAMPP to export and import SPECIFIC tables to new PHPMyAdmin -- imported only posts, postmeta, comments, commentsmeta, terms, taxonomy. NO wp_options, WP_users or security plugins were imported into new database because this would change login details and security configurations. This took some time but saved me hours of having to recreate posts.
Thanks
