Did you follow this guide for transferring hosts?

You usually get that error message when your database doesn't have the requested users that it is trying to get in a query. So that would mean that your database probably doesn't have all of the users. This could be from a corrupted mysql transfer, or you didn't do the transfer process correctly. I suggest following the guide (link above) to make sure that you performed the transfer as suggested.

Hello Yankidank, I sold my rankbirth.com to philtrecca And I used CUTEFTP to download whole site and then download (export) database from phpmyadmin. But I was failed to import full database, it creates only 10table but my previous database it was 53database table. Actually in this situation what should I do to make this site live again?

Here is my database: http://www.riseintop.com/rankbirth.sql

I think this is a lack of the Pligg CMS or the developer missed something.
I love pligg much so I solved the problem.

Here is the steps you need to do:
*Note: if you are not a php familiar please read carefully and make changes at your won risk.

#1. Go to your installed folder of Pligg e.g.: /public_html/
#2. Then go to libs folder and get "html1.php".
#3. Use any plain-text editor like notepad or online editor as you like.
#4. Find this line: " if(!$user->read()) "
There will contain the text 'invalid username or userid in get_avatar' like below:
echo "invalid username or userid in get_avatar";
die;

Make comment these two lines by typing double slash before the line look like below:

// echo "invalid username or userid in get_avatar";
// die;

#5. Now write some new code look like this:
$avatarsource = NULL;
$size = "small";
$user_name = "anonymouse";
$user_id = 1;
$user_email = "me@localhost";

#6. Okay, you are done. Now save the file and upload/replace again.

*Note: These lines will same place where "// die;" written.
