    Hi all,

    I did have an old wordpress site and would like to read through the old pages and post. I no longer have the website but have the .tar cpanel backup. Is there anyway I can access the text in the posts and pages, which folder would it be located in? I can not seem to find it in any of the folders within that .tar?

    Thanks.

    Hi webmech. The post and page content is in the WP database wp_posts table. If you have a MySql dump file (maybe in the backup file) you could extract it and restore it to another MySq1 instance. Or you could open the dump file using an editor like Notepad++. Not very easy to read but the data is accessible.

    Hi, thanks bdbrown,

    I am struggling to find the directory of what you are referring. The wp_posts file has about 2 pages of code but not post or page content?

    Any further help would be much appreciated, thanks.

    I am struggling to find the directory of what you are referring.

    It’s not a directory. If your backup file contains the MySql database it’s usually a file ending with .sql.

    The wp_posts file has about 2 pages of code

    Not sure where you’re seeing this?
