    Hi Tobias. There are a couple of threads here with similar questions, however, I am unable to tackle my issue with the answers given, and they are marked closed so I must start a new thread. I apologize for the redundancy.

    I will try to be brief.

    I had a WP site that I stopped maintaining 3 years ago because of a major natural disaster in my area that claimed the bulk of my time for a couple of years. I did not back up anything and I had a VERY large amount of data across several dozen Table Press tables.

    I am trying to rebuild that site and my host, luckily enough, had a mirror backup of all the data from my old account which they gave me access to via CPanel. Unfortunately, I am very rusty when it comes to CPanel and MyPHPAdmin as it has been years since I used them. Could you give me a brief walkthrough of how I need to go in and recover all of my TablePress Data so I can get it uploaded to my new account where my website is now uploaded?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    The best way would be if you can still access the WordPress admin dashboard of the old site. Then, you could export all tables to the JSON format on the TablePress “Export” screen.

    If you don’t have access to the WordPress admin dashboard of the old site anymore, using phpMyAdmin to directly access the mySQL database is indeed the best.

    You will then need to export/backup all entries from the wp_posts table that have a value of tablepress_table in the post_type column.
    In addition, you’ll need to export the two entries tablepress_options and tablepress_tables from the wp_options database table.

    Regards,
    Tobias
