    Hey guys,
    Recently I took a backup of my site and I couldn’t find the full restore option then I found that I can not restore my full site using cPanel. So I decided to restore it manually and I’ve uploaded homedirectory and MySQL database accordingly. My site seems ok but whenever I try to upload something it says “Missing a temporary folder” There are lot of more files in the backup folder but I don’t know where to upload them. Please help me out, I messed it up badly!

    Hello :),

    You can try below code for the temporary folder in wp-config.php:

    // Setup a temporary folder for uploading and updating
    define(‘WP_TEMP_DIR’, ABSPATH . ‘wp-content/uploads’);

    Else, if you still have Full backup file, then you should contact your hosting provider and ask them to restore the full backup, so that all the settings of your account will get restored without any hassle.

    Thanks.

    Thanks for your quick reply, Dan!
    Created a temp directory but didn’t helped.
    Do I need to upload the backup file in my directory to get help from my hosting provider?

    Yes, you can upload the full backup file under public_html of your account and provide the path of the file to your hosting provider, so that they can forcefully restore the file on your account.

    Remember that, if you have made any recent settings after the backup done, then at the time of account restoration, those settings will get overwritten.

    Thanks for the help ?? Appreciate it!

    Hi, I have exactly the same problem. Did you solve the problem with the help from your hosting provider?
    The guy from godaddy told me to that I should seek help from godaddy instead of them…
