To upload a backup .zip file to your WordPress site roderickgdavisforjudge.com hosted on GoDaddy, follow these steps:
- Access Your Hosting Account:
- Log in to your GoDaddy account.
- Go to your WordPress Hosting dashboard.
- Use File Manager or FTP:
- File Manager: If your hosting includes a File Manager, you can upload the .zip file directly there.
- FTP: Alternatively, use an FTP client (like FileZilla) to connect to your server and upload the .zip file to the desired directory (usually the
wp-contentfolder or root folder).
- Unzip the Backup:
- If you uploaded via File Manager, you can extract the .zip file directly on the server.
- If using FTP, you may need to unzip locally and upload the unzipped files, or use SSH if available to unzip on the server.
- Restore Your Backup:
- If the backup includes your database, you will need to restore it via phpMyAdmin in your hosting control panel.
- For WordPress files, uploading and extracting them in the correct directory will restore your site files.
- Check Your Site:
- After uploading and restoring, visit roderickgdavisforjudge.com to confirm the site is working correctly.
