wp_posts table empty after restore

Hey @hefdut ,

Thank you for reporting the issue, though issues of all kinds are not rare with XAMPP.

Can you please try to restore the backup on a test site on TasteWP and let us know how that went?

Please also share the debug log on the site where the restoration failed, so we can inspect details:
Please navigate to the plugin section Troubleshooting > Check advanced options and click on the button:
Share debug info with BackupBliss team

And here’s a screenshot that shows where to get it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h76LMlMleF90JbsyaR2_PU8PZDAUMWsG/view?usp=sharing

Please paste the debug code in your reply (not the whole log please).

Kind regards

Hey @hefdut ,

Can you please confirm that for the creation of this backup, you used our plugin specifically, and in the section “What will be backed up?”, you unchecked Files, and left only Database selected for backing up?

If so, please run a simple quick validation check of the backup file:
– Take a peek inside the backup file (zip), and check if it contains bmi_backup_manifest.json file as well as a folder (db_tables)?

If it doesn’t, then the backup file was not made correctly – in that case please provide the debug code from the site where the backup was created.

Looking forward to solving this issue.

Hey @hefdut ,
Thank you for the additional information – so far everything seems in order.
Could you also please generate a debug log from a site where you run the Restoration and share the code so we can inspect that too?
Kind regards

Hi @hefdut ,

Thank you for your detailed explanation.

After reviewing your source site, we noticed that your content is stored under a custom post type called “portfolio”, rather than the default WordPress “post” type. Because of this, these entries will not appear on the standard Posts page in the admin area or on the frontend blog page.

This behavior is expected and not related to a database restoration failure. The data is present in the ****_posts table, but it is categorized differently.

The “portfolio” post type is typically registered by your theme or its companion plugin.

To resolve the issue, please ensure that:
– The same theme and required plugins are installed and activated on your local (XAMPP) environment.
– After activation, check the admin sidebar for a “Portfolio” section—your content should appear there.
– If the theme or plugin responsible for this post type is missing or inactive, WordPress will not recognize these entries properly, which can make it seem like the posts are missing.

Please let us know how it goes or if you need further assistance.

Kind regards
