WordPress 633 views Markdown

WordPress prepared for this application guide, WordPress It explains which data will be recorded in the process of Reloading and Restore, which steps will be applied and how to prove the result.

Menu names may vary according to the version used. Therefore, write the target on the screen, the service to be affected, and the expected value after the process begins. Before the procedure, take the file and database backup; try the change in the staging environment if possible.

Before the process starts

  • Compare the unique identity and name of the target record.
  • Check supported versions of application dependency.
  • Take into account the delay of cache and spread.
  • Plan changing only one configuration group at one time.

Step by step app

  1. Specify the return target, scope and acceptable data loss time.
  2. Check which are included from the file, database, email and configuration components.
  3. Create a new and verified backup and confirm that the archive is accessible in remote location.
  4. Compare date, size and ownership information to not mix the target account with the restore point.
  5. Start the process at low-traffic time and cut the session or task until it is completed.
  6. Then test the site, database, entries, email and scheduled tasks separately.
  7. Take the backup of the file and database for the same time; set the maintenance window.

Verification and troubleshooting

The same test separates the local cache and session effect to repeat with a different network or an independent tool. If the results are unconsistent, the load balancer, proxy or multiple DNS View responses.

  • Does different clients see the same result?
  • Are all server nodes updated?
  • Is independent behavior right from the session?

Safety and continuity notes

Take the test data from real customer, payment or personal information. Mask hidden areas before sharing daily and reports.

Return to the final successful situation instead of adding new settings in the unforeseen situation. Check the records at the trading time and repeat the same test with one variable.
