Simple and to the point. Did not think of this as a way to back up the
website. (I’m new to this).
I have been able to successfully upload my site via FTP to 123-reg.
However, I am having problems with my file permissions. Is there a way to
change the file permissions to the correct settings all in one go, without
having to manly change every single file?
Thank you so much! Phew all sorted. What a mess.
Very helpful! Thank you!
For anyone wondering, /wp-content is nested under /public_html.
Thank you :)
you make it easy
