Restoring Backup using Backup Plugin

  • My webhosting company (netbunch) was hacked and they lost all of my data. Thankfully I had a backup of my wordpress blog that I am trying to restore. I tried to follow the guidelines that are listed in the Codex for restoring your backup if you have used the Backup Plugin (it creates a .sql file). Anyway, I am having issues as if you go to my site now, it seems that it is up, but when you click on “Comments”, any of the pages, etc.., it shows a 404 message.

    What could be the issue?

    Your help is appreciated.

  • Have you restored all your WordPress files, including (and especially) the .htaccess file?

    i have restored all of my wordpress files, but i am not sure of my .htaccess file. I am going to have to find it – is that the problem?

    That’s my guess. Since you have stuff in a /wp directory, the .htaccess file should probably look like

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /wp/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /wp/index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    .htaccess is stored within the wp directory, is that right?

    In your case, it appears it should.
