Backups are Scary

This week was something of a panic for me in preparation for the midterm. I focused on figuring out the process of installing backup WordPress files with the wp-content folder and the SQL file.

It was not working initially, and I was so confused as to where I was going wrong. Eventually, with Bill’s help, I was able to learn the specific actions to complete the task.

  1. SiteGround
  2. WordPress Install
    1. Database: wp_
  3. Cyberduck
    1. Delete wp-content in site folder
    2. Install downloaded wp-content
  4. PHP MyAdmin
    1. Click database name (site folder on PHP MyAdmin)
    2. Drop all tables
    3. Import SQL file
    4. wp-options
      1. Browse
      2. Copy old domain
      3. Use Canvas code to replace SQL data
        1. DreamWeaver
      4. SQL
        1. URL change
