Accessing obsolete website

    I used to have my website on WordPress, but the powers that be wanted it moved to a “drag & drop” site. My old WordPress site is still located on the old servers and all of the files in Files Manager are still accessible through cPanel. Is there a way to look at page text (for example, I want to copy the About Us information to put on our new site)?

    Use PHPMYADMIN to access the database and look in the wp_posts table (or export that table to have a downloaded copy). You’ll find the content of your pages and posts in that table in the DB.

    Steven, thank you. I was able to do exactly what I was trying to do. We had several pages that had a lot of detailed text and this saved a TON of work re-writing them.
