    Hello folks

    I am facing one strange problem .

    In June 2017 i have erased all my posts from WP admin panel,but before that i have made backup off my public_html.

    Now i have extract all public_html folder in Cpanel and everything is finished and i see images in "Upload" folder and everything else. That backup is 3 gb

    But now main problem is i can't see posts in my WP admin panel. In that backup i was have about 30,000 posts.
    Why after backup posts are not showing up? Thanks

    Did you backup your DATABASE file while you backedup your public_html folder? If yes, upload (import) your DB file now.

    You got the backup of the main public_html. It's ok, but you didn't take backup of the main database from phpmyadmin.

    You had to backup the database because it is the responsible for saving your posts, not the public_html. And I hope you did.

    A WordPress needs two components:

    - Site files
    - A database

    The site files are stored on your web hosting server (in your case in a directory called public_html), while the site data (post content, categories, tags, settings, etc.) is stored in a database.

    If you've only made a backup of the files inside the public_html folder, you have only made a backup of your site's files, without the database files.

    If you've made a full site backup using cPanel or other hosting management software, then the archive you have downloaded should also include the database backup file
    (usually a .sql or a .tar.gz file).

    Without restoring the data of your old database, you can't recover all your posts and content.
