I need to know how can i take a local backup of whole website as i am going to do some changes on production directly so if something fucks up i can revert back to the current version and how can i revert to local version back.
Like the other fellow suggested, the Duplicator plugin (and there are others) allows you to zip up your site, which you would save in a different location, then upload the zip through the same plugin to restore. It would be good to try it on a local or staging environment first (LocalWP is a great, fast option for creating local instances, and then you can even test uploading your full backup to that).
Apart from plug-ins
Make a sql db backup through phpmyadmin.
Zip your public root.
Done.
you can download all in one wp migration plugin or duplicator create a backup and later restore it
– Snapshot Plugin. It gives you versions of your site as you make changes that you can revert back to. I use version numbers like 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 as changes get made. Then you can go back in time to any snapshot later if changes break something.
– All in one WP Migrate. Allows you to save to Google Drive , local file and many options.
– FTP to get a local copy of all files and use phyMyadmin plugin to get a database copy.
Install Duplicator Plugin.
