Manual backup and restore

Backup wp-content directory and config.php.

To restore your WordPress site using a Softaculous backup:

  1. Locate the Backup File: Find your backup archive in the Softaculous dashboard (e.g., wp.26_46480.2026-10-07-56-37.tar.gz) and extract it to find the database file, softsql.sql.

  2. Recreate the Database (If Needed): If the original database was deleted or corrupted, create a new database and database user matching the name, user, and password specified in your site’s wp-config.php file.

  3. Import the Database: Open phpMyAdmin, select your database, go to the Import tab, upload your softsql.sql file, and run the import.
