• Well my web host right now (well for the last few weeks) have completely gone down the drain, the cPanel license got unactivated and they havn’t activiated so I can’t access cPanel (mainly phpmyadmin which I wan’t to use). So basically what I want to do is backup all my posts from wordpress and then later restore it when my site goes back up.

    I tried the one click backup/restore plugin for wordpress and it successfully makes a file called10062005wordpress.sql, but what do I do then? I was trying to see if it works so I made a bunch of garbage posts, made a backup, then deleted all those posts. When I tried to use the restore feature, absolutely nothing happened. Any advice on why this isn’t working or another method that I could use to backup my posts (except go to each one and copy it onto word then paste it on later, cuz I have quite a bit of posts)?

    PS. When using the plugin to restore, it says everything went successful:
    mysql -hDB_HOST -uDB_USER -pDB_PASSWORD -f DB_NAME < /home/bball2/public_html/swc/wp-content/backup/10062005wordpress.sql Restore successful.
