Restore your site from a backup (same URL)

Share:

Use Restore to same URL when this WordPress install is still at the same address (e.g. www.example.com → www.example.com) and you need to roll back to a known-good backup.

Read WP Restore overview first for plan and vault key requirements.

Before you start

  1. Confirm you have an Essential or Pro backup plan.
  2. Locate your Master Vault Key (Recovery Sheet).
  3. Optional but recommended: note what changed since the backup — you will lose newer content after restore.

Steps

  1. Open MigraSync → WP Restore.
  2. Where are you restoring to? — choose Restore to same URL.
  3. Click Continue to backups.
  4. Select backup point — pick date/time from Available backups. Click Refresh list if a recent backup is missing.
  5. What to restore — keep Database (required); add Media / Plugins / Themes if needed.
  6. Master Vault Key — enter the key from backup creation. Wrong key = cannot decrypt.
  7. Click Start restore → accept data processing → Confirm site restore.
  8. Check consent: “I understand this replaces my current site data.” → Start disaster recovery.

While it runs

  • Wizard shows Restore in progress — you may close the tab; work continues on the server.
  • When finished: Restore complete → Reload site.

After restore

  1. Log in to WordPress and spot-check pages, menus, and media.
  2. Visit Settings → Permalinks and click Save (flushes rewrite rules).
  3. Clear any host or CDN cache.
  4. Re-test forms, checkout, or membership plugins if applicable.
