WordPress Blogging

Archive for January, 2023

There are many reasons to back up your WordPress blog and make sure you always have a copy of it in case something goes wrong.

Your database might crash, you might accidentally delete some of your posts or files, and you might even need to roll back to an earlier version of your WordPress blog.

A hard drive might crash and many people don’t realize that your website is simply sitting on a computer somewhere that has all the same problems as your computer.

WordPress websites have always been a target for hackers looking to have some fun at the cost of damaging and defacing websites and blogs.

I know firsthand what it feels like to get your blogs hacked.

It happened to me two times in less than 4 days and I was beyond being mad, especially after the hosting company informed me that they had NO backups of my blogs.

1. You are mad

2. You are pissed
