I would also like to know this.

Well, I did have problems. And it wasn’t simple, to me. Maybe it is for you. Thank you anyway though. I found something else more to my liking.

It wasn’t really a complaint – I was mentioning that it is not simple to use. I know how to use a shortcode by the way. Sorry you don’t like my honest feedback.

The .sql says the backup was from the 21st. I thought I setup the program to make backups for me 4 times a day, but apparently it wasn’t. It only had the backup that I manually did.

It was from a download, not the portal.

So even though I had this plugin to backup my site 4 times a day, it did not (even though it was saying that it was).

Over 30 hours worth of work on my new site is gone (not to mention the 8 hours it took trying to decipher how to restore my site. People are asking me why all the information I had went, and I have to tell them that it no longer exists.

I suppose this is a great lesson; don’t rely on plugins to do what they say or to work like how you think they will.

Another question. As I am uploading my files via FTP, I am noticing that the site that is being uploaded is a week old. The backup was dated from this morning, so shouldn’t the site reflect what it looked like from this AM?

Will the site “fix itself” and have the updated menus and pages as more files get uploaded?

You have great timing. That is exactly what I did less than 30 seconds ago. I had to drop some tables because it was saying that they already existed.

When I go to my site url, it’s asking me to install WordPress.

Thanks. I am in the process of figuring this all out.

So far I have uploaded all of the FileSystem files via ftp using FileZilla. Was I supposed to delete the old ones? or just replace? I kept all the old files there from the fresh install of WP, and then I added/replaced from the backup.

As for the SQL databases, I am seeing 3 listed. I only have one site, so I am not sure why there is 3 there. Nor am I sure what ones I need to replace.
