I’ve been looking on the Internet for a while how to backup the theme I am developing in wordpress and database.

I use the xampp and the banco de dados in the phpMyAdmin.

I found several tutorials, but I’m not feeling security in these tutorials, because I want a complete backup, with all plugin settings and everything else saved, so that if one day I have a problem on the site and I lose everything, I can get the latest version of the backup and just put it on the air again. Without great effort to search all the plugins, make all the settings all over again, because even though I have picked up a theme ready, I changed a lot in it right in php.

When I say perfect backup, I mean everything from database, plugins, posts, created pages, theme settings, plugins settings...

NOTE: I am using the theme Oblique, follow the link: https://wordpress.org/themes/oblique/

How should the backup be done in this way? Is it possible? If so, please tell me which tools I can use and how to implement them?

A "complete backup" of Wordpress can be accomplished by storing the following data:

  • Database: The will be the information of your posts, pages, system settings and also some plugins and themes.
  • Directory Files: All files that usually already comes in the default installation of Wordpress (which as you reported, must have modified) and also the directory of themes and plugins.

To backup the Database, the phpMyAdmin is a good alternative, because he performs the extraction without having much knowledge in SQL. For files, any copy via FTP ensures that your data is safe locally.

If you’re dealing with more than one site, and find this process laborious, I recommend using a management platform, such as Infinitewp or the Managewp, for example. Both facilitate this Website Backup process for a quick restore.

    Felipe, Infinitewp or Managewp, does it backup the site(theme) + database? Or does it backup only the WP theme itself?

  • Marcielli, I know Infinitewp with property to inform you that it performs the full backup (database + theme files, plugins, etc ). Easily restored if necessary.

  • @Fellipesoares Dude all right, next I’m trying to find a solution to make a complete backup of a wordpress/wooecommerce store hosted at hostgator and transfer to digitalocean, how it is a shared host the resources are limited you can tell me if this Infinitewp forces much the server can take the site from the air? PQ I am not getting for nothing in this world copy the wp-content folder of hostgator, nor the general backup of the site solved because the folder came empty.

  • @Erick, in the configuration you define the amount of requests that are made on the server. Just adjust to something that Hostgator can handle.
