What happens when you lose access to your wp-admin page or DB tables are removed from your server?

Nothing to worry about! We got your back.

All site backups will be saved in your Cloud Storage (Dropbox / S3 / Google Drive). 

Just follow the instructions below.

  • Download the bridge file (wp-tcapsule-bridge.zip) here form here (Download bridge package)
  • Go to the root folder of your site via Cpanel / FTP.
  • Then upload and extract the wp-tcapsule-bridge.zip file as shown in the image below (It doesn't matter even if the WP site is deleted completely and the folder is empty).
  • Visit the folder on your browser(eg. https://yoursite.com/wp-tcapsule-bridge/) and click custom Database details -> Load restore point

  • Go to your Cloud Storage(Dropbox / Amazon S3 / Google Drive)
