Reinstallation

  • Hello guys, I run website https://run-3.com and as you see it is running on wordpress platform, that’s why I stopped by this support forum. The trouble I am facing is that I am afraid of losing data while reinstalling. So when I reinstall my wordpress will it save all the current data or delete it immediately?
    sorry for bad English, I am not native speaker.
    Thanks in advance,

  • First take the backup of file and database. You can use the BackUpWordpress plugin to take the backup of website:

    https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/backupwordpress/

    Then you can follow the below steps to reinstall the website:

    1. Unzip the backup folder- it contains php files and sql file. Rename it to your site name.
    2. Move it on server via ftp or cpanel
    3. Create a database on server using phpmyadmin
    4 Import the sql file from the unzip folder. After this, look for the wp_options table in database. Change the “site url” and “home url” of the site.
    5. On ftp, look for the “wp-config.php” file in root folder. Change the information required to connect to the database such as host name, database name and password.
