Thanks,

I’d purchased a backup plug in which unfortunately my site host does not support. My question is, can I simply FTP the complete site back to a folder onto my PC?
Then if I need to restore it, simply upload by FTP the contents in the same order as they can off?
I’m hoping it’s possible but am guessing it’s a bit more complicated.

]]>I previously downloaded all root files from ftp, thinking I could simply copy and paste over new installation in the event of something like this, by changing info in the wp-config.php file. I’m sure I have done this successfully before..
After doing the above, my old content is still not showing. Which other files in the root directory do I need to edit to point to new database?
[No bumping. If it’s that urgent after waiting for just 1 hour, consider hiring someone.]

I don’t have the slightest idea what this is or how to fix it. My WordPress is out of date, which is why I am trying to back it up so that I can update my plugins too. Could that be the problem? I can’t find what version of WordPress is currently installed either.

]]>I’ve gone through the codex on Moving WordPress and tried to move my WP site\database to a new host but ran into problems so I’m missing something.
This is all it says for what I’m trying to do
If you are changing to a new server but same domain, all you need to do is edit wp-config.php with your new database/user information and upload everything as it is to your new server.
What does this mean?
I backed up the WP DB (cPanal & phpMyAdmin) and backed home directory containing everything for the domain, giving me 2 zipped files.
On the new server I uploaded the home-directory containing all the files but I’m stuck when it comes to the database.
I installed WP on the new server so it pointed to the home-directory and then I imported the old DB files into the new database and it seemed to work ok but the site was not ok and just looked like a new WP site, no plugins from before, no theme, no pages or anything relating to the site as it was on the first server.
Can anyone help me understand what’s going on and what I need to do?
Thanks
[No bumping, thank you.]
