In this tutorial, I will show you how to backup WordPress from Cpanel and then how to restore it.
You can use plugins to do this as well, but there are two reasons why it's good to know other ways to back up.
First, many backup plugins are limited by the file size they will backup for free. If your site is larger than the limit you'll have to get the Pro version of the plugin.
Second, I believe it's always best to know how things work before you look for the "easy way" to do things because the "easy way" doesn't always work.

Great tutorial, the most important part for me was that you actually deleted the whole website, database and folder which by the way is something that most of us would not do but seeing you do it and restoring everything successfully is what makes your video 100% trustworthy so thank you very much for taking the time to create this tutorial and explaining everything so clearly.
No problem. I try to make useful and helpful tutorials :) Thanks for letting me know what you like.
I was searching all over the RUclips for this. Only video which shows what I wanted. Thanks a lot! You saved me
You’re welcome, I'm happy I could help :) Thanks for watching!
This is the best Wordpress tutorials channel on RUclips. I can't believe this doesn't have more views! Thank you very much for your help, Sir!
Straight to the point without all the bs from other youtube videos... great example of what a good explanation should be. Thanks a lot
You just saved my life, I have 27 demo blogs to move to a new server and this works with a couple tweaks because of I am movingto a new host :) thanks so much!
Geez. One of the best WP upper-level Tuts out there. Like and Subscribed!!!
Thanks man! Much appreciated :)
I don't comment often on videos. This was a really useful tutorial. Thank you.
Bjorn, another great tutorial!!! Easy to follow instructions - NO plugins needed. I'm always excited to get your new video notifications!!!
I'm always a fan of not using too many plugins :) Thanks for your continued viewership Susan, I appreciate it and I hope the videos I make will continue to be useful for you!
thanks u helped me. i migrated my site to new host and used this technique and it worked
YOU HAVE JUST SAVED MY LIFE. I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, GOD BLESS 🙏
I’m happy I could help! 😃
You saved my website! Thank you for this video!!
That's awesome Grace! But it was you who saved your website, I simply showed you the way :)
Strangely, you were deleting your database in 2019, and MY HEART is racing as I watch this in 2022:)
I see why you are like an undefeated champion at 61-0 likes. Now you are 62-0. Great video and easy to understand. Thanks!
This particular tutorial is awesome, would be cool if you made one to show how to migrate it to bitnami or some other local WP site to test big site changes before doing them on a live site!
So useful information and easiest steps that I have never seen before, thank you from 2022
I'm happy I could help Zandar! The migration method in this video has worked the same way since 2008 and I bet it will keep working the same way for a long time.
You can also do the backup from the WordPress dashboard. I'd suggest Updraft WordPress Backup Plugin, a couple of clicks, and voilà. Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much, just came across your video and its helped me to restore my staging site without having to purchase a plugin.
You are a god send! few minor changes... zipping larger files...being patient! Creating a new database...making sure database, username, password & host name all match in wp_options & wp-config.php..getting 'database error' messages trying to open the website...hey It's my first time migrating, can't be perfect!... since I had to create a new database, the host name will change and the information for your host name is under your hosting plan service where it will show you your DNS aswell...Be patient guys.. make notes of what you have done already to quickly change if necessary.
I have realised most backup/restore plugins will backup but won't restore, so we have no choice than to do this manually in most cases. Good luck!!
The best tutorial you will get anywhere!!! Just so apt and brilliant
Great tutorial, thanks! For those who were over about 50% of disk capacity like, me, you'll have to zip and download and delete zip folders in smaller chunks. Or delete some files. I had some large old backup files on my server disk that I downloaded and then deleted. Made all the difference!
AMAZING. Exactly what I needed, thank you for sharing your expertise with a succinct, clear tutorial!
I’m happy I could help Megan, thanks for watching!
Its very easy way to take backup....Thank You Sir
Thanks so much ... very clear and easy to follow tutorial. I was moving an existing website to a new server and I found it easier/simpler to use the Mysql Wizard to import the data-base file and create a new user and inputting existing user/pass from wp-config file instead of creating a new database altogether.
This was a great and easy to follow tutorial! Thanks for showing this in a straightforward manner. Will def look into other stuff of yours as I use wordpress moving forward.
This is an excellent walkthrough explanation, thank you! Really appreciate the work! 👐
Life saver ! Thanks for this video !
The one and only backup method i need, thank you.
Excellent work, thanks, learned a lot of new things.
You’re welcome Amer, thanks for watching!
@@wplearninglab Although you had touched upon difference between files (public html) & DB (myPHP admin), I still am not clear. Any tutorial specifically on it would be appreciated. Thanks
Thanks so much for this...saved me a lot of time
Really thank you so much...That's really a great tutorial. You helped me a lot . Thanks.
Love it! Please keep the videos coming. Love and blessings to you and yours.
Thank you! Worked well.
You’re welcome Rahul, thanks for watching!
thanks man, I guess backup plugins are not needed any more :)
Great tutorial! Well done and thank you so much for your help. Truly appreciate.
You’re welcome Sanjin, I'm happy to help. Thanks for watching!
Excellent tutorial, straight to the point and so relevant. Thank you.
You're welcome Cheslin, thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any questions :)
This is awesome...just did backing up my wordpress site...Thanks mate!
Your tutorial is straight to the point. Thank you for your effort!
Thank you so much for this valuable video!!
Very good presentation. The last two minutes were particularly interesting. What to do when the WP install has been botched and you need to start over. What to do when the hosting company goes bust and another outfit inherits hosting of your site. Those are real problems.
AMAZING EXPLANATION!
Thank you
Very quick and useful video
Sir Bjorn You are good as always.
Thanks Mix and thanks for watching!
Thanks mate for this tutorial
Great video Bjorn! You make it soo easy to follow.
Thanks Kandaman and thanks for watching!
Excellent only one suggestion and that is to do these walk though a bit slower so it is easier to understand and be careful that everything is as it appears to be. There are no load or time limits so why rush. Thanks again for a great video.
Great, point to point Explanation- Thanks
Thanks Kamal and thanks for watching!
Great video man!!! keep it up.
Thank you! Short, clear and pretty well explained!
This *tutorial* is awesome
Thanks for sharing a great tutorial. I liked your professional approach.
Thanks for your video, liked and subscribed.
Thank you, worked perfectly 👌
Great video! I agree, always best to understand what the plugin is doing before just having blind faith in the plugin.
So, in theory could you also use this process to change webhosting companies? Do the restore on the new webhost?
Thanku so much sir for this tutorial ❤❤❤
i really enjoy your tutorials. you're a great instructor and you don't add cheesy music, which is a plus for me. i'm going to try this method. currently i use All-in-One Migration and Updraft Plus. they both work great but when i do a restore, i'm expecting everything to be wiped out and replaced by the restore file but this is not the case. have you used either of those and is this cpanel method your go-to backup/restore method? with your method, i know i'll get a perfect restore because i'm replacing the entire folder. you mentioned that it's not possible to zip via FTP, but actually it IS possible. i use Transmit (Mac) and after setting up SFTP, i can send commands to zip and extract - pretty cool! lastly: at 9:09 after restoring the DB, you said it "looks pretty similar to what we had before" but i think you meant to say that it looks EXACTLY like it did when it was backed up, right? thanks for the great tutorial!
I use Updraft Plus quite a bit because I have lots of sites to manage and I can automated the backups with UP and MainWP. I have a tutorial for my current backup procedure here: ruclips.net/video/54fGdhpqrnA/видео.html
The process in that video is best suited for people with multiple sites under their management.
This manual backup method was my go to for a long time. And if I'm doing any major work on a site I make a manual backup like this as well as a plugin-based backup.
I hope that helps, let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks for watching!
This helped, thank you so much!
This helps me a lot 💪 thank you so much for sharing you knowledge
You’re welcome, thanks for watching!
Thank you very mach bro you are good man you helped me
You’re welcome Mohamed, thanks for watching!
Amazing video. One question about the database. Do we not have to worry about user credentials for exporting and importing? It seemed to not care at all eh?
hey, can you please make a video on "how to add a vertical featured product carousel in the sidebar in wordpress site?
Thanks! good tutorial
Great, thank you very much
You're welcome Ankit, thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any questions :)
Great video! Thanks a lot. I just have one question: if, for example, I do have a broken website after an update (all the files aren't deleted they're just broken yeah) what do I do? Do I manually delete them in CPanel and do what you did here (same with database, delete everything, restore) or is there a better way to do it?
Hey Zoya,
Good question. I would make a backup of the files and database that are broken (weird right?). Just in case the back you're restoring to doesn't work and you've deleted the broken files then you'll be really up the creek.
If that happens, something may be salvageable from the broken files.
So, backup the broken files and database and make the file name of the back as such.
Then delete all the broken files and database and restore the good backup.
I hope that helps!
This is super helpful for someone who is very much a novice like me. I am having a problem though. Hoping someone can help me. When I try to compress all the files through File Manager, it just keeps running and never completes. I am able to compress some individual files, but none of the folders. I have left it going for days thinking it might take some time. But it never completes. Any ideas or help is greatly appreciated.
Excellent video !! Thank you very much, I have a doubt, your site is so light, my backup is 1.5 gb, It's because I use a multipurpose theme, do I have to use a lightweight? What theme do you use? Help please
Amazing tutorial... helped me a lot
I’m happy I could help Henry, thanks for watching!
What do you think of JetBackup for WordPress?
Awesome video thank you. Can I backup my website and upload this entire backup onto a new domain or does this backup only work on the same domain that it was downloaded from?
Great question!
The backup as it is will only work on the same domain you're using. You can *usually* do a little editing to make it work on any domain though.
You can unzip your backup and open the .sql file in a text editor like Sublime Text. (Sublime Text is free, but it pops up a request for $20 every once in a while. You can close that request and keep using it.)
Inside the SQL file you can search for your domain name and replace every instance of it with new domain you want to move the site to. But, if any of your plugins are serialized (which isn't that common), then they are tied to your domain with no easy way to change it in the database.
It maybe be easier to use a plugin like All-In-One WP Migration to move your site. The version has an upload size limit, so if you're site is too big you would have to upgrade to the paid version.
I hope that helps!
Awesome Tutorial, Very clean!
Thanks Ariel and thanks for watching!
nice explanation.. thank you for guiding
You’re welcome, thanks for watching!
Excellent information, you are a star.
great thanks for the tutorial!
thank you
You're welcome, thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any questions :)
And sorry for the delay. I'm still trying figure out my summer holiday work schedule!
Great video. Very helpful. I have a backup of all my site files, but I do not have the database. Do I have any hope of restoring?
Is it possible my cpanel full backup has the db files in it?
Hi Wayne,
Without the database you're up the creek :( In a cPanel host, the WordPress databases are created in the MySQL Database cPanel app. And in cPanel you generally use phpMyAdmin to access the WordPress database. So if you have a full cPanel backup, you might be able to get your databases via one of those apps. May I ask what happened? Did your host close up shop or did a website developer lock you out or something?
@@wplearninglab Thanks for your answer. That is what I thought. No, my host is still there. I have some kind of security issue. Someone, I don't know who. is restoring old stuff on me, whenever they want. So I lose like 2 weeks of work. So I have multiple things to do. Totally secure my site. and then back up after everything that I do on the site.
@@wplearninglab I am currently using BlueHost. How are they for security?
What is the host you recommend?
What is the fastest easiest way to get my site moved??
Thanks!
You’re welcome Hizoka, thanks for watching!
Can I know if I only want to backup my main website and not the add on domains that I have. what are the files I need to take note of? thanks
HI SG don't use CP anymore. Any chance of a recap..talking us through where all the important information lives..
if one had saved a full account backup in cpanel for domain~a + is trying to move that site to domain~b, would deleting all the contents of domain~b within file manager + replacing them w/ the full site backup of domain~a theoretically work? i tried this while also changing the wp-config file to point at the new database {as outlined in this great tutorial} but still the old website on the new domain isn't loading ~ might there just be more files that i'd have to edit to convert the pointing of the old domain + database to the new?
p.s. this was an incredibly insightful + straightforward tutorial w/ the humongous bonus of the database creation/rerouting at the end 👌🏽
its 2022 and am here. thank!!!!! woohooo! new follower. do you by chance know how i can remove the /wp from my website? thanks
Good tutorial thanks
Thank you for this tutorial!
Thanks for the video! :)
Thanks! Is backing up via Cpanel 'backup wizard' same as manually copying public folder?
i transferred my website from one domain to the other but the pages built through brizy did not transfer, like the pages were transferred but the data in them was not, what do i do?
hi. i have a situation :) my domain was redirected to siteground. my hosted content is still with godaddy. i have access to the cpanel but eeven in the file manager i dont see the actual name of the domain. just its sub domains. do i just take the entire files or can i locate the last back up before this mess and do what yoe do here to migrate the contents.
If you're GoDaddy account is unchanged, it maybe easiest to redirect your domain back to GoDaddy? Then you can make a backup and import more easily to SiteGround? There is also a good chance the site will work if you transfer all the files and database from GoDaddy to SiteGround.
Great tutorial as always.... But can demonstrate how u would do the same with a multisite.
Hi Kamal,
The process is the exact same for Multisite. All the files are in the main site's folder and there's just one database that holds all the data for the all the sites.
I hope that helps, let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks for watching!
Thank you sooo much!!
My file manager does not support compress/extract zip files. How do I backup and restore? Also there is a 10MB per file limit for download/upload.
I used these instructions and the video for switching hosting to get my site 90% restored. However, my plugins and photos are not restored. Do you have any idea of what could be causing plugins and images to not load?
A little background, I made a backup of my site 6 months ago using cpanel on siteground. I'm trying to restore that backup on siteground now, but they switched from cpanel to site tools. I was able to get the pages to populate. However, the plugins and photos wont load.
can this method can be used for transferring website to other hosting?
Superb! I permanently deleted plugins file, let me suggest how to restore this plugin or getting the lost plugin list
Thank you very much for your help, Sir.Great explanation
How can I restore only one page? I changed my site and I'd like to undo the changes restoring that page.
Hello, does this also work when a website is transferred from one person to another (same damain, different hosting)?
can you make a video on how to update WordPress via Cpanel while not losing your content. For example, if you need to update WordPress manually for trouble shooting purposes.
That's a tall order. Updating the files would be doable, but many WP come with database updates. That would be a real challenge to update manually and it would probably need to be done differently every time. You would have research the WP change logs to figure out how the db is updated in each update.
What sort of problem are you trying to troieshoot? There must be an easier way.
good day sir, my site is hosted on a different account with my friend for some time now, recently got my own hosting and I am trying to move my website from his hosting to my new hosting watching your tutorial, he backup and sent to me, I downloaded and watching your video to restore the site but the challenge I am having right now is, if I click on myphyadmin, it shows this "No database defined, you need to create a database before using phpPgadmin" I would be glad if you can see this and come to my aid.
Quick question. I've used this method before but now it's not working, the file backup process goes on forever. Could it be because the website is 13GB?
Perfect
Styles are not working properly in my back up :(
Awesome.. its was really a superb essy video. keep up the good work.. thumbs up from india.. :)
