How to remove entries without Control Panel Access, Just FTP access

  • HI, my domain was temporally blocked, I need to remove some materia in order to the hosting company to unblockme. So everything was blocked but I have ftp access to all html, php, etc documents, but I dont know where the entries are located so I could erase them manually.

    Any help? Thanks in advance.

  • If the blocked material is something that you have written in wordpress then it will be stored in your database.

    Use PHPMyAdmin in order to go into the database tables and delete the offending material.

    You cannot delete php or html files in order to get rid of something that is not stored there i.e. it is stored in the database.

    I dot have PHPMyAdmin installed and ALL the domain is blocked. How am I going to be able to run PHPMyAdmin if I cant access the domain? Any other option?

    Thanks BTW

    If you only have FTP access, then you are not going to be able to remove any data such as posts, comments, and pages in your database (that data is in your MySQL database).

    You would need some kind of shell access to issue commands to your database or control panel access to invoke phpmyadmin. Of course you could try and upload and install your own copy of phpMyAdmin and use that. See https://www.phpmyadmin.net/

    Without a database manipulation tool (be it phpMyadmin or something else) it is impossible to remove any content.

    The other option would be to talk your host and explain that having a database driven site you cannot do anything via ftp – you need temporary access to the site + your blog to delete the content.
