Accidentally override my local site. Tried importing local file but not working

What issue or error are you experiencing?

I accidentally pulled from Flywheel and now the site that I’ve been working on is gone. Unfortunatel I wasnt able to back it up because the cloud backup keeps giving me an error. So did exporting the site to my pc. There was some compression issues.
I checked the local sql and I can still see my work (on elementor) being there but at the same time, I think the database from the pull also overrode portions of the file (sorry im not too techy).

I did the import from local file but when I checked the pages on the wp admin dashboard, the page that I built, isnt there anymore. So is the elementor plugin I installed with it. Do you know how I can recover this?

What steps can be taken to replicate the issue? Feel free to include screenshots, videos, etc

Security Reminder
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.

Hey @shielothejello!

You’ll need both the content and the DB together to be able to view your site how it was.

Did you try doing a manual import with the steps here? Essentially create a new, blank site in Local and then manually import your content and database from the saved file overtop of it.
