How to do a full WordPress backup and restore Update: I recommend using ManageWP to easily backup/restore/migrate your WordPress sites. WordPress is modular but yet very coherent in nature and doing a full backup is not difficult when you know what that you need to backup. WordPress site consists of several components: WordPress code (which you can always get from WordPress.org - or you can use Fantastico/CPanel WP installation)wp-config.php (this file holds your database connection information, it is automatically created if you use Fantastico).htaccess (in most cases you can regenerate it from WordPress admin)wp-content folder (contains your images, attachments, themes and plugins)Database (contains WordPress settings and posts) Basically since you can always get WordPress code you just need to backup remaining four things.
