How To Backup And Restore A Wordpress Blog
This video will show you:
- How to backup your Wordpress (hosted) blog using the Wordpress Database Backup Plugin
- How to restore a Wordpress (hosted) blog.
This is useful if you would want to, perhaps, move your blog from one server (host) to another or move it to a new domain. But, ideally, you should backup your databse from time to time anyway. I lost an entire blog once before I knew how to do this and it’s definitely no fun at all. So, at the end of the video I’ll also show you how to do sceduled backups using the same plugin.
In the video, I also mention the PHP My Admin plugin and wanted to include the link in case anyone was interested in being able to access their blog database from the WP admin.
In the video, I am using Host Gator to host my blog. It is affordable and works as well as a more expensive host. The most important thing is that it uses CPanel and it doesn’t get any more user friendly than that.

12.3.09 on 4:58 amGreetings fellow members. I just finished a website called Watch Dexter Online, and was hoping that those of you that are familiar with Wordpress could recommend some SEO plugins that have worked for you. Please post your thoughts when you get a second.

12.10.09 on 7:34 pmGreat looking site! Maybe you should use ads from Prosperent network. They pay based on sales not a clicks!!! That means way better money than adsense or any PPC:) If you are interested send me an email. I will send you invitation code. Cheers.

Not sure why, what AV do you use? Some of them, especially the free ones, alert for a lot of false positives.

05.24.10 on 9:11 amI obviously like using social networks, if that's what you mean, Mr. er, Facebok?
I don't think people should use social networks to sell anything directly though. I think social networks should be used to inform, educate, and lead people who may need what you have over to your own site/blog because you provided value in a social media atmosphere.

05.24.10 on 9:20 amMy message about backing up a Wordpress blog "raises contradictions?" I'm not following. It's just like all of your data on your computer. It needs to be backed up consistently, frequently, and automatically. What's the contradiction in keeping your site's content safe in case of disaster?
-Sheree
05.24.10 on 9:23 amIt's a long story. You can read about it by clicking on the tab at the top of the blog that says "what is web 2.0 empire?" I write about Wordpress because I use it and I've disected and studied everything I possibly could so that I could train my team when they wanted to build their own blogs.

05.24.10 on 9:33 amThanks Mary, great to meet you!
-Sheree
05.24.10 on 9:34 amUm, that’s how you do it?
Backing up and restoring a Wordpress Blog, it’s one post, one topic, what else do you want?
Other Wordpress videos/topics are in other posts/videos…
Is there anything specific?
