Use old wordpress data – CPanel

So recently I had a virus on my site and I’ve copied my WordPress content folder to my local computer and did a backup of the database and whole site (using cPanel). Then I deleted everything from public_html and installed fresh WordPress. After clearing content folder from a virus I put it back and overwrite freshly installed wp. I connected WordPress to the old database. I set up a theme that I used and that is it. And after all this, my site is still blank. Also inside content folder on hosting, I have images under content/uploads folder but when I go in media on admin panel, nothing is there. What is the problem?

Here are some images:

Also i uploaded one image and it set it tho the folder content/2017/6/image where i already have 10 images but in media library is only the latest one added

I found out the problem. Inside my database i have prefix WPN7_TableName and at setup i set it to wp_TableName. How can i change this?

    I replaced %table_prefix inside wp-config.php from wp_ to wpn7_ just like old one was.

    Well, try these and let me know if that helps.

    N.B.: Remember you must completely backup both database and files on your server before proceeding further.

    In your wp-config.php file add the below line at the very bottom:

    define('WP_ALLOW_REPAIR', true);

    Now visit this page:

    http://http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/maint/repair.php [Replace http://www.yoursite.com with your actual one]

    And there you will see the option to repair the database. Go with that and check if that solves the problem.
