Contact your hosts for assistance in accessing Phpmyadmin.
If worpress backed up my database, what does my host have to do with that? Please explain. Thanks
WordPress does not back up your database. That is your responsibility. Also wordpress.org distributes and documents the WordPress application but has no connection with any site running that software. You need to contact your hosts first for assistance in accessing Phpmyadmin.
So what is this file that was backed up through my wordpress blog:
ptbcv_wp_20130430_724.sql
But this is a wordpress file.
No – it is not. It is a database backup file. WordPress does not create database backup files by default. wordpress.org does not have access to your site so cannot create a database backup of your site. However, your hosts can. Try asking them.
Ok. Thanks for your patience
The file is called: ptbcv_wp_20130430_724.sql. How do I use this file to restore my blog?
By using server-level features available at your server cPanel. Certain WordPress plugins can extract things from your database to make a backup, but using that backup to restore your database at the server where it is actually separate from WordPress is a different matter.
When I try to go to my old blog http://proudtobecapeverdean.com/ptbcv/wp-login.php, I get not found.
Also, why can’t I sign in to my old wordpress account that I had (Nov 22) before Yahoo deactivated my account? Thanks
I see a WP site installed here:
http://proudtobecapeverdean.com
But the login goes to 404. Did you start with a new site? What did you put for Settings > General – URL?
You seem to have installed or moved this site to a folder called phpmyadmin! Try http://proudtobecapeverdean.com/phpmyadmin/wp-login.php
why can’t I sign in to my old wordpress account that I had (Nov 22) before Yahoo deactivated my account?
Perhaps because Yahoo deactivated it?
