How to Restore WordPress from a Backup
WordPress · Self-help guide
Restoring WordPress should be done carefully because it can replace recent content, orders, users, or form entries. First, confirm what the backup contains and the date it was created. If possible, download a copy of the current broken site before restoring. Use your hosting backup tool or backup plugin to restore the files and database together. If you restore only files but not the database, or the database but not files, the site may still have issues. After restoration, test the homepage, admin login, contact forms, and any checkout pages. If the site handles orders or bookings, check whether recent activity is missing. For business-critical restores, contact support before proceeding.
