Copied data to drive but deleted database

  • I see all of my stuff which is so frustrating but since there is no ‘index.php’ with wordpress, am I doomed to just redo the entire site?

    I’m brand new at it and bought Flatsome to do my site. It looked great but it’s so new there isn’t anything at archive.org

    Any suggestions at all since the web host doesn’t have a backup of it either?

  • I guess you mean that there are no .html files with WordPress to copy. And that is true, the PHP files are programming that allow you to create and modify pages in the database. Without that database, WordPress won’t function and no page content is available. If you deleted the database, that would be the end of all your content and settings if no backup is available.

    You could hope Installatron was installed, then you could look in \application_backups (in the root) of your hosting account. If that contains .tar.gz files, that would be a backup, usually when it does an update.

    Recreating the website from scratch is the only option if no have no backups.

    Good luck!

    woo hoo…. The ‘colleague’ last night said it couldn’t be restored. I got an email this morning from another support tech who restored everything while I was asleep & tortured about losing everything ??

    Got it back and downloaded the wp backup… I thought copying wp-admin, include, and content was all I needed to do.

    I made sure to get all 3 sites backed up and copied to my computer.
