How to get data from WordPress site sql file

The problem is that your images reside in /wp-content/uploads/ and without this folder, everything will be restored except images and some files you have previously uploaded to the Media Library. The plugin(s) and the theme you used could be installed (uploaded and activated) again.

To backup a WordPress websites you only need to backup the following:

  • /wp-content/plugins/ – to backup the plugin(s) you use
  • /wp-content/themes/ – you only need to backup your active theme, the theme you’re using
  • /wp-content/uploads/ – Mostly for your images and other things you have uploaded to the Media Library
  • And of course your database

Without these folders, you get all your post and pages back, but since you have no files and/or folders of your website, you will have no images, no plugins and you will have to install your plugin(s) and theme again or use another one.
