Restoring site from hack -- where in backup would I find GP Premium settings?
1 reply · Started by Rick on June 13, 2022
I had a serious hack on my site, and I'm being forced to rebuild it largely from scratch. One of the things I'm trying to find out is where I would find my previous settings from GP, so I can get back to the look and feel I previously had.
I have a backup of the site from about six months ago, but I'm a bit wary of restoring things (well, primarily the WP db). I did copy the old theme folder from a backup, but the site appearance looks like a brand new install. Is there some set of files I'm missing, or tables in the WP db that contain the info?
Thanks for any help -- I tried to look through the forums for a similar post, but couldn't find anything.

Hi Rick,
All data with regards to GP settings are stored in the wp_options table in your database.
Example: https://share.getcloudapp.com/OAu8BnxE
In that sense, if currently, the settings are not reflecting the settings from your DB, it could be that your DB was affected as well from the hacking.
You could check to be sure.
You could also reach out to your hosting provider if they have a backup of your site. Some hosting packages include backup services.
Hope this clarifies!
