Can export and import be used to backup and restore a WordPress website?
-
Can I use the export and import tools to backup and restore a WordPress website? I’ve been trying to do that with no success. I recently had a problem after I updated some settings. I tried to go back to the previous settings by importing a recent export, but that just compounded the problem. The host admin helped me out by restoring the database, which was great, but I would like to know if I can restore the site via export and import. Thanks.

Hi there,
We do normally encourage users to backup their sites via export:
https://wordpress.com/support/export/#using-export-as-a-backup-tool
But that applies to simple sites hosted here on WordPress.com.
Is the site you’re referencing currently hosted here on WordPress.com or elsewhere? From the sound of it, https://computerearthscience.wordpress.com/ is not the site you are referring to?
Let us know, thanks!
