Restoring a broken WordPress website is often the fastest and safest solution when troubleshooting fails.
When Restoration Is Appropriate #
Restoring is recommended if:
- The site is completely broken
- Errors cannot be isolated
- Multiple components are affected
- Time-sensitive recovery is needed
Backups exist to solve these situations.
What Restoration Does #
Restoration:
- Reverts files to a previous state
- Restores the database
- Removes recent changes
All changes after the backup are lost.
Restoration Methods #
WordPress can be restored by:
- Using server backups via cPanel
- Restoring WordPress files and database
- Using plugin-based backups if available
Choose the method carefully.
After Restoring #
After restoration:
- Test the site thoroughly
- Identify what caused the issue
- Avoid repeating the same changes
- Update cautiously
Restoration is not a permanent fix by itself.
Responsibility Notice #
You are responsible for:
- Creating and managing backups
- Choosing when to restore
- Verifying restored content
