    Hi there

    My friend has an issue with his service provider. The problem is that they are hosting a WordPress account for him and are asking a lot of money for it. Too much in fact. So what they did was that they promised to tear down the website unless my friend pays, which is way too much (talking about hundreds of $). The friend cannot let that website go down, it’s too vital for business.

    Now I’m asking you: is there any way I could get the database through WP admin? They have disabled plugins section, so right now I can’t find any way to reach my goal. I also don’t have any FTP access to alter files. Ideas, guys?

    Any help appreciated.

    I don’t think you can get the total database and all the files back without FTP access or some kind of access to the MySQL database on the back end.

    However, if you have access to the dashboard, you can go to Dashboard > Tools > Export, and you can get all the posts and pages exported. That takes care of about 80-90% of the work of getting a new, fresh site up.
