Learn how to restore / recover / import your WordPress website from a .tar.gz backup you made.
Please note this method does not work for WordPress Multisites. Please look out for my tutorial on how to backup and migrate Multisites.
Are you stuck with a backup of your WordPress website in tar.gz format?
Did you move over to a new hosting provider and did not back your site up the right way?
Whatever your reason is, you are in a difficult situation and don't know how to restore your WordPress website from a tar.gz backup file.
Don't stress, there is a way to restore your WordPress website without making any changes to any WordPress configuration files.
A .tar.gz backup is nothing more than a compressed folder, like a .zip compression. It contains all the files from your "public html" folder found in your File Manager on cPanel. You cannot directly import this type of backup from your local computer and just install your WordPress website again. This backup is linked to your database on which your original WordPress website was installed. There are a lot of guides on how to recover your website from this type of backup that involves a lot of changes to files contained in this backup. You need to match your database, users, passwords and much much more to your new website and host if you moved over to a new host.
If you are currently stuck in this situation, do not stress, at least you have a backup of your website, and from that you are still able to recover your site to it's former glory.
Follow this guide / tutorial, you will see that it is quite simple and you don't need to be messing around with any database changes or changes to your configuration files like a lot of other guides tell you. I will also show you exactly how to make a WordPress backup the right way, so you never have to sit with this problem again.
In this video I am going to delete my current WordPress site and use only my tar.gz backup on my local computer to restore my WordPress site again.
For this you will need LocalWP, which is an application used for creating WordPress websites on your local computer. LocalWP creates a local server environment, like MAMP, but what makes it so special is that you can also import a website from a tar.gz backup that you have made.
You will need to download and install LocalWP. Your can find the download on localwp.com (but I explain all of this in this video). The total download is about 500mb in total.
Follow this guide and you will have your WordPress website back up and running in no time.
Please show your support by liking this video and subscribing to my channel. I will be uploading a lot of tutorials for WordPress, and others, as well as some courses on Web Development, Excel and general IT related courses.

EXACTLY what i need and was researching since 2 hours - THANKS MUCH MY FRIEND

@websitewithq6464 3 года назад

Not a problem. If you have trouble doing the import again from the "file" option, I will send you the Google drive extension plugin. Then all you have to do is upload the exported file (.wpress), which you made from the Local server, to your Google Drive and import it from there. I find it works quicker that way. Let me know if you have any questions, I will gladly help

I stopped developing websites for 3 years and focused on graphic designing to the point where I already forgot these kinds of processes, thanks to this tuts, I'm able to bring back by personal website alive after being taken down by the web host due to I forgot to pay my subscription.

The only tip that solved my problem! No WordPress plugin does the service for large databases. Everyone needs to have a paid feature and often still have errors. Thank you very much for the video and explanations!

What if I wanted to set up the site on a different domain from the backup file? Would this method still work? Is there anything to modify during export with AI1WPM?

@eg2730 Год назад

Hi. Thanx for the video. But when I tried to upload the zip file, it cant.. something that you have to do it manually?.. Am I missing something?

@meggokayzee6620 2 года назад

Great Vid...thanks a lot. How about importing an sql file, is it possible to do it in a similar manner?

@honeynandal 2 года назад

You can do that by following this procedure: 01. Extract your .tar.gz into a folder 02. Extract your database zip into a folder 03. Copy the .sql file and paste it into the theme folder (.tar.gz) you extract in step 01 04. Compress that folder with theme files and .sql file into a .zip 05. Upload it on Local I hope this will help.

I'm having an issue. When I import a backup file on Local Software, the Website is opening but the admin panel is not opening. What's the issue?

@cerirees2238 2 года назад

Great video, but sadly it didn't work for me, even though I've used Local before successfully. During the Import I get a message saying "Uh-oh! Unable to import siter. Error: Local was unable to import the following SQL files:" and then an empty list. Great shame because I really thought it was going to work. But thanks for putting together such a thoughtful video. :(

@Angel Grace Eledio I shared the process right above your comments, 2 months ago. Re: "You can do that by following this procedure: 01. Extract your .tar.gz into a folder 02. Extract your database zip into a folder 03. Copy the .sql file and paste it into the theme folder (.tar.gz) you extract in step 01 04.
