  • You need to do two things:

    1. back up your database

    2. back up your wordpress/theme files

    You can backup your db by using phpmyadmin. To do so click the export tab and select download.

    Another way is to download and install the database backup plugin. Then from settings click backup. From here you can choose to send a copy of your database to any email of your choice or download the db to your computer.

    To backup your wordpress and theme files just use your ftp client and download them to your computer.
