1. Log into phpMyAdmin on your server

2.  select ‘Databases’ from the main login screen,

3. Then click the name of your database – or your WordPress database if you have several databases.

4. Now the screen will show you all the tables inside your WordPress database.

Now just click the ‘Export’ tab on the top set of tabs.

5. Look at the left box at the top of the Export section. All the tables in the database you selected are in that box.

* If you have other programs that use the database, then choose only those tables that correspond to your wordpress install. They will be the ones with that start with “wp_” or

* whatever ‘table_prefix’ you specified in your ‘wp-config.php’ file.
* If you only have your WordPress blog installed, in the left column, click ‘Select All’.

# Ensure that the SQL button is selected too.

* The SQL section
* Tick the following boxes: Structure, ‘Add DROP TABLE’, ‘Add AUTO_INCREMENT’ and ‘Enclose table and field names with backquotes’

# The DATA section

* Leave the boxes inside this section unticked, but make sure to keep the checkbox next to the “DATA” heading checked.

# Tick the ‘Save as file’ option, and leave the template name alone.

For now, select ‘None’ for compression.

# Now click ‘Go’ and you should be prompted for a file to download. Save the file to your computer.

Depending on the database size, this may take a few moments.

# Once the download is complete, check the ‘zipped’ option, click ‘Go’, and download the next file.

If you need, you could download a backup in each of the compression formats. Your choice.

# The backup is finished

This is the way you can access the built-in File Editor from the Administration > Manage > Files Panel.

* To view a file in the File Editor, click on the file from the list or type in the specific address such as
example.com/wordpress/filename.php
* If the file is “writable” you will see a button at the bottom of the editing window that says Update File. Click
this when you are done with your edits and ready to save the file.
* If the file is not “writable”, you will see a note under the bottom of the editing window saying the file is not
writable. You will need to CHMOD the file to 666 in order to make it writable through an FTP program (preferably FileZilla)
before you can edit it.
* Important instruction;

Before editing, backup your file by saving a copy!
* While making change to the file inside the File Editor window, all you have to Edit with care as to not delete or harm
the code inside the file.
* When ready to save the file, click the Update File button at the bottom. This will save the file and now you’ve done. In next article we will cover the editing process for image.
