burstiness: A Guide to Restoring WordPress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>WordPress &#8211; the globally popular content management system. It&#8217;s customizable, powerful and user-friendly with the ability to build websites of all kinds. However, what if something goes wrong? What if you delete a crucial file by accident? What if you&#8217;ve encountered a malware attack or crashed your site after updates? Well, have no fear, because restoring WordPress is possible, and we&#8217;ve got the comprehensive instructions to help you out.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_it_essential_to_have_a_backup_plan_for_your_WordPress_site\"><\/span> Why is it essential to have a backup plan for your WordPress site?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>WordPress sites are prone to various issues that could potentially damage your site. These issues arise from errors in WordPress updates or themes\/plugins, malware or hacking attacks, accidental file or content deletion, hosting or server troubles as well as downtime and server crashes. Without a plan in place, these issues could cause significant damage to your site, and you may lose your entire site, or worse, weeks, months, or years of your hard work overnight. Therefore, having a backup plan will save you from all these troubles.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_two_ways_to_create_a_backup\"><\/span>What are the two ways to create a backup?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are two ways to create a backup of your WordPress site: manual and automated.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manual_Backup\"><\/span>Manual Backup<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A manual backup involves creating a copy of your site files and data manually using FTP or cPanel, then storing it in a separate location, such as your local computer, cloud storage or via email. However, manual backups are time-consuming, prone to human error, and you have to keep a record of each backup and store it safely manually.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Automated_Backup\"><\/span>Automated Backup<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>An automated backup involves using a plugin or service that automatically backs up your site&#8217;s data and files at regular intervals such as daily, weekly, or monthly. Automated backups are more reliable, and you don&#8217;t have to worry about forgetting to make a backup or storing backups or managing them manually.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Restore_WordPress_from_Backup\"><\/span>How to Restore WordPress from Backup?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before starting a WordPress restoration, you need to have a backup of your site files and data.

You can install WordPress using the quick installation process provided by your hosting company, or you can also install it manually. It&#8217;s crucial to ensure that the version of WordPress you are installing is the same as the version you had installed previously.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Install_the_Backup_Tool\"><\/span>Step 4: Install the Backup Tool<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Next, install the backup tool that you used to create the backup of your site, whether it&#8217;s UpdraftPlus or any other tool.
