finding lost posts

  • I migrated my sites to a new host, but some newer posts and tables did not transfer over. They are not in drafts.

    The CPanel backup I got seems to be older than the posts. The plugin backup I made with BackWPup does not support restoring, and I do not have the skills to deal with this.

    There are about 25 databases in my account. I don’t know how to even start to find the missing posts and tables.

    Out of the 4 sites in the account there is just one that I had added new content to, so it’s a matter of just finding it for one site.

    I am not sure if remigrating the site would produce the missing content either.

    Any idea on how I can find the missing posts and tables?

    Thanks!

    When you use BackWPUp it creates a .sql file (either in the root or wp-content, I forget). Import that file into your database using phpmyadmin and you’ll have all the content you had when the backup was made.

    Thanks. After seeing your post I tried that, but got error messages. I need a bit more detail or to hire someone.

    What were the error messages?
