Course Overview

Wordpress Backup & Restore

Learn how to backup your Wordpress website & then use those backups to restore your website, even after server failure.

If you’re like me, you know just how powerful and easy WordPress is to use. It’s amazing how you can build a professional, high-quality website without needing to know all the technical details. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned pro, WordPress just works.

But here’s the thing: I hear this one question a lot – “How do I back up my WordPress site?”

Imagine this: You wake up one morning, excited to check on your site, but instead, you’re met with an error. Your website is down, and you’re not sure why. Panic sets in, right? How do you fix it? More importantly, how do you make sure this never happens again?

Take a deep breath – I’ve got you covered.

I’ve put together a course that will guide you step by step through everything you need to know about backing up and restoring your WordPress website. I’ll show you how to manually back up your site, and I’ll also introduce you to a handy (and free) plugin that can automate the whole process for you.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • What to back up: I’ll break down which parts of your WordPress install are essential to save and how to access them.

  • Manual backup made easy: I’ll guide you through backing up important files using FTP or cPanel’s File Manager (and yes, I’ll even show you how to set up FTP from scratch).

  • Restore with confidence: You’ll learn how to manually restore files using FTP or cPanel – so no more guessing.

  • Database safety: I’ll teach you how to manually back up and restore your WordPress database.

  • Automated backups: You’ll discover different ways to automate backups, so you’re always prepared.

  • Free plugin walkthrough: I’ll show you how to install and set up a simple plugin that automatically backs up your database and sends it to your email.

  • Complete site backups: Learn how to automate full site backups with a plugin that can even upload them to Dropbox or your preferred online storage – hands-free!

By the end of the course, you’ll feel confident knowing that your website is protected. You’ll know how to easily back up and restore your site, giving you peace of mind no matter what happens.

Never worry about your WordPress site again. Once you know how to safeguard your hard work, you can focus on what you love doing – building and growing your website.

I’d love to help you get there!

Ready to make your WordPress site bulletproof? Let’s do this together.

    This is small and sweet course. It's not putting any pressure. So as there is no pressure, there is limited learning. Thus I will go with 4.5

    The course title says it all. Background information is provided on the manual approach to backing up and also to restoring your Wordpress site. Of course, like most site owners I was most interested in setting up this process through the use of plugins in order to automate this as much as possible. Andy provides clear and concise step by step instructions, and his background as a science educator is evident--in a good way :-)
