Recovery checklist

Restore a deleted WordPress website

If files or the database were wiped — or your host took the site offline — work this checklist, then open the full restore guide for the SiteSkite workflow.

Checklist

  1. Confirm whether WordPress still exists or you need a fresh install on the host.
  2. Connect SiteSkite (or regain access) and locate the last known-good backup.
  3. Prefer Sandbox restore first if you are unsure which snapshot is clean.
  4. Run a full restore of files, database, and uploads.
  5. Verify front-end and wp-admin, then schedule automated backups so it does not happen again.
