How to Backup and Restore your WordPress Blog
Follow this simple procedure to get your production template up and running:
- Log in to your web server via FTP and dump your entire <Siteroot>\WP-Content folder onto your local drive. This will copy all your themes and plug-ins, and will bring the pictures you need on your computer.
- Copy the newly created, local backup of your online WP-Content folder on top of the one located in your local WordPress installation.
- Login to your test WordPress server’s dashboard, navigate to the presentation -> Themes section, and activate your theme.
- Load your blog’s front page and admire the result.
How to Reset a WordPress Password from phpMyAdmin
Every WordPress blog uses a MySQL Database which can be accessed through your phpMyAdmin even if you are not using cPanel hosting. Follow the following steps to reset your WordPress password:
How to Recover Lost WordPress (Localhost) Password
If you design and develop WordPress theme,
chances are you’ll have a local (localhost) copy in your machine for
testing & debugging and preview purposes. Here’s a common mistake
some of us may make – we tend to forget our admin password.
If you’ve forgotten your password for an online self-host WordPress blog, it’s easy as clicking on the “Lost your password” to recover. But in a localhost environment, configurations may vary from machine to machine. Most of the time “Lost your password” will not work as email system is either not supported or not properly setup.
In this article, I’m going to show a simple workaround to login to
your localhost WordPress Dashboard even if you’ve forgot your password,
or even the login.
WordPress Account Recovery
At some point, you may run into a situation in which you’ve lost
access to your account, so we want to ensure you take the necessary
steps to avoid this and set up your account to be recoverable.
SMS Recovery Setup
A quick, easy step to help protect your account is to add your mobile phone details in Account Settings. By doing this, we can use your phone to recover your account by sending you an SMS text message if you forget your password.
To add your mobile phone details, visit Account Settings (or look for the wheel-like icon near the top right of your home page):
Scroll down to the Account Recovery section and use
the dropdown menu to select your country. Underneath, input your mobile
phone number (without spaces or dashes). Click Save Changes.
SMS support is enabled in all countries that Twilio supports.
If you’re located in the UK or another country where local dialing
requires the addition of a 0, omit the 0 when entering your number in
the text box. For example number such as 020 1234 5678 in the UK would
be formatted as +44 20 1234 5678.
You will receive an email notification the first time you save your
mobile phone details, as well as any time you update them in the future.
